First Place
We have our winners in last week’s haiku contest! I used random.org to select the first place winner, Cullen. Here’s his haiku poem:
The grasses are green
dew is sparkling here and there
earth’s morning beauties.
Second Place
Second place goes to Andrew K., age 9, who wrote my personal favorite and won a World of Animals StoryBuilders card deck. Here’s his haiku about a yellow jacket:
buzz-black, yellow bug
in garden flying, eating
stinging all the worms
It was a tough choice because there were some very clever and well-written entries. But in the end, Andrew’s won out because he:
- Followed the format.
- Avoided “to be” words.
- Made every word count.
- Picked a nature theme.
Thanks to everyone who participated. Keep up with your haiku!
