Foxy Haiku Contest: We Have a Winner!
Whoops. I’m the worst blogger ever, I was supposed to announce the winner of my Haiku competition a week ago – sorry about that!
I’ve had a hard time picking my favourite Haiku, that’s for sure – what a torture – they are all so great! But, without further ado, the winner is Rachael, with her sweet little poem about interspecies friendship:
sleek red fox moonlight
flanked by a large coal black cat
there in my dark garden
Congratulations Rachael! I really hope you like your bracelet!
But I couldn’t help myself…I couldn’t stop at just one Haiku…they were all so amazing… So I have chosen a couple of honourable mentions & have a little prize for each of them which you can see below – these little Folk Like Us pendants (they will also be available once I launch my shop in a few weeks’ time). Honestly, I wish everyone who entered could win, but I don’t want to send myself bankrupt bestowing prizes willy-nilly! So, I shall restrict myself to just the two extras & will be sending a pendant to Suki, for her rather dark & moody, Film Noir-esque poem:
Autumn nights grow cold
A fox comes to the city
A strange cry is heard
And a pendant to bryssy for so perfectly capturing the image of a little fox gambling about on a cheery autumn day:
cracking leaves lay
under padded trixter paws
cool breezes blowing
Thank you everyone for entering – that was so much fun! :)
Wonderful, inspiring contest… fantastic winner (love that Rachael actually saw her cat and the fox strolling together)…beautiful pendants! Thanks for everything Karena!
It was inspiring wasn’t it? I love how everyone’s poems were so different & evoked such different moods.
So fun! Thank you!
Thank you for entering! :)
Thank you Karena I am really excited about winning and I have also found a bit of a passion for Haiku.
That’s great that it’s ignited some Haiku appreciation for you!
What lucky ducks!
