PaDiF Is Close To The End
Week three winners of a Poem a Day in February (PaDiF)
Last week our contest was for Haiku and Crab Canon. A few writers thought I meant that the contest winners would combine the two. I didn't mean that, but one was a winner in that category. So we had three categories and three winners with honorable mentions.
Most are aware that a Haiku is most often three lines with 5-7-5 syllables, and most often about nature or love. While a Crab Canon is lines written forward and then from the last line to the first, with different messages for most.
Crab canon is a format that is rather tough to master. I still don't feel I have truly captured the crab canon, as I have been going for two distinct messages in one poem. My poems are not included here as I give the prizes and they are my contests. I will submit some of mine at another time.
Anyway here are the winners with a few of the honorable mentions:
The winner for combined Haiku and Crab Canon is Carol Verant Arola, and honorable mentions are Carol Verant Arola, and Kathy Hron
Ahh Haiku Haiku
Words must be tickling my nose
Oh dear God Bless me
