Vladimir Devide Haiku Award 2015

     In March, I was happily surprised to find out through Facebook that my poem was commended by the judges. This haiku had been submitted to a few contests, but it had never been recognized.

 

 

 

 

     I just found out today while checking out the link that there is a video announcement of the contest winner. It was so good to hear all the poems being read. Mine was the first one! Click here to view the video and to read all the winners on the website.
