Generally speaking I do not pay much attention to how many points a given haiku gains in these contests. Ninety-two voters casting ballots determined the following results. In March there were 182 submissions from thirty-four countries across five continents. Please remember that everyone who votes is a winner - the process of choosing your personal favorites is not just fun, but also one of the best ways to improve your own haiku practice! Results of Last Month’s THF Kukai The top winners will be acknowledged each month, and offered their choice of prizes from a list compiled by the Foundation. Votes are tallied and the results made public. At that time all participating poets and other interested readers may vote for their favorites. The work submitted is gathered into an anonymous roster and posted to Troutswirl (The Haiku Foundation blog) for public viewing. Poets write work to this theme during the allotted time and submit it to the administrator. The administrator of the kukai (that’s us) assigns a theme for a given writing period and posts to Troutswirl (The Haiku Foundation blog) on the THF site, which is then redirected outward through our various media outlets. The THF Kukai OverviewĪ kukai is a (usually quite casual) poetry contest. Please respect this to offer the reader (and voter) the opportunity to choose only the poem. Note: Anonymity is an essential part of any kukai.
