First Place in, World Haiku Review - Just Wanted to Share :)

Blog Posted:5/16/2009 2:52:00 AM
<P>No, it's not about the hallmark contest, won't know about that until monday. :) BUT...</P> <P>I just found out I took First Place in, World Haiku Review Magazine, in the Vangaurd haiku category; as well as Editor's Choice! I know it's not much, but it sure made me feel appriciated. In writing, at least for me, along with acceptance and appriciation, so comes a heck of alot of rejection - so this really had me smiling. :)</P> <P>Here is the link, if anyone wants to read my little haiku and what the editor had to say about it.</P> <P><A href="http://worldhaikureview.googlepages.com/editor%27schoice7-1">http://worldhaikureview.googlepages.com/editor%27schoice7-1</A></P> <P>Thank goodness for this site and all the support. I'd have probably given up long ago if not for you guys (you know who you are) </P> <P>Love, Kristin</P>

Congratulations Kristen! This is wonderful news, I am so happy for you. Your poem is wonderful expressing lonliness and the invisable feeling that surrounds many of us on a daily basis. Well done. Great luck for continued success though I know your skill is truly all you need. Smiles from Lolita

Awesome Kristin!!!!!!! Hip Hip Hooray for the amazing recognition, and the review is wonderful too! What a brilliant haiku.....the spirit of loneliness....in such a brief form! As Stacey mentioned...from someone who lives in Reynold's household....it goes to show what a great imagination you have, to have that ability to dream of a lonely world!! Congratulations dear friend!!!
