It’s with tremendous joy that I announce that I have won the Grand Prize in the 5th Annual Haiku Crush Contest! Also of note: I’m now the first person to ever have three poems awarded in a single Haiku Crush contest!

Here are my winning poems:

after the breeze
the cocoon
still trembling

graveside service
the wind shifts
to past tense

morning dew
counting the suns
on a sunflower

The book of the contest is chock-full of more excellent haiku! Snag your copy here!
