this is tricky buissenes - you all win a price! But only three will be recipients, bummer ...

The Haiku contest was splendid, here are the winners, so I needed to choose three for the price to be received. What a miserable ordeal, depressing to let others down. But here we have to go, after putting in all the Haiku's into a basket and pulling out three of them, here are the winners:

Jim, Cym, Laila
are the winners. Please contact me through e-mail and give me your info so I can send you the price.

All others, be content that your contributions were sublime!


forget not my aim
to walk where wolves fear to tread
with peace in my heart.

Cym
-------------------------------------

forget not my aim
dare you ponder on the gain
of not caring less

Nazli
--------------------------------------

pain is in my soul
and as i turn the pages
i still see your smile

Laila
--------------------------------------

forget not my aim
i tried to throw through you once
stay out of my way

Seraphine
--------------------------------------

death is not a shame
only a flicker of flame
in life's endless game

Jim
--------------------------------------

forget not my aim
the heart is distant and rare
the dart is subtle

Gary
-------------------------------------

Tomorrow is hope
Sunrise brings us our warm rays
An endless life cycle

Lindsay
-------------------------------------


i will only say
once the jello's cleaned up
we will end the fight

Susan
-------------------------------------

a flower greets us
naked, wanton, and smiling
with sensual grace

Jim
-------------------------------------

A flower greets us
Such haughty apparition
As though Hope pervades

Lee
-------------------------------------

a flower greets us
there, on the sweet other side
each petal singing.
