Thrilled that the following haiga received an Honourable Mention in the traditional category from Judges Terri and Raymond French:

Judges' Commentary:

A lovely haiga, We liked the implied connection between the back-and-forth of migration and life's inevitable changes, often changing direction unexpectedly. The cranes flying in different directions, the swish in the center suggesting movement and the flowing font of the senryu all work together so well.

transplanted . . .
a bleeding heart
in the surgeon's garden

     #12 2014

frogspawn
the way you wriggle
out of lies

     #19 2016

in the tracks
of a dog I wish were mine
snow sparkles

     #20 2016

sheet lightning
my hands find the bones
of your hips

     #22 2017

peeling paint
all the backstories
we don't know

     #23 2017

last testament
we inherit the bulk
of her shame

     #23 2017

bagpipers
just far enough away
to move me
