Tania Kitchin January 26, 2021 at 2:12 PM Congratulations on your winning placement with your wonderfully creative haiku, love the imagery of this in a field! Reason A. Poteet January 26, 2021 at 8:04 PM thanks, Tania, from a class on haiku which I took years ago. My teacher was a minimalist. Addition of the word "still" is a great pivot. Original was: deaf to duty / scarecrow guards the corn / presence.
