Earth Day dusk –
falling all around me
blackbird song

We heard today that Amy won first prize in the 13-15 years age group and also the overall grand prize for the above haiku, her entry for the 2011 Kids Count for Earth Day international competition for children and young people. The contest was judged by world renowned tanka and haiku poet and artist, an’ya. Amy wins a year’s membership to the Haiku Society of America (HSA) and the winning poems will be published in the Fall issue of Sketchbook online journal.

Special thanks to Alan Summers (With Words) for publicising the competition on Twitter etc. Amy got her entry in ten minutes before the midnight deadline ;)

while you are sleeping…

stars dim on the gate of dawn

ruby and gold

the honeysuckle stirs

with a blackbird’s song

For Amy, Congratulations!
