International Haiku Contest by the Haiku Society of Constanta

 I just recently received a certificate and two books from the Haiku Society of Constanta. 

Here is my winning poem.

autumn sky

our laughter spirals down

the lighthouse stairs

It was actually a wonderful post-birthday gift! My poem received an HONORABLE MENTION among the 174 entries in the International Haiku Contest of Constanta, Romania. Here's the photo that inspired my haiku - a visit to the Point Loma Lighthouse at Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego.
