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.

My Very First Haiga

 

 

 

     I didn't know that my two haiga have been accepted for the fall issue of Notes From the Gean (Vol. 3, Issue 2). I was happily surprised to see my very first haiga published!

     Notes From the Gean is a journal of haiku, tanka, haiga, haibun, renga/renku and more. To read the haiga editor's philosophy, click here.
