Winning haiku from the Jack Stamm Contest, 2001

spring dawn
pine needles dripping
the night away

Ernest J. Berry

summer storm
shorter than
my cup of tea

Graham Nunn

summer afternoon
our shadows touch
before we do

Carla Sari

among the headstones
one small pine
bends with the wind

ross coward

out of the river the silence
of posts

bruce roxburgh

doorbell
my thoughts
dress up

Ernest J. Berry

rain fills the dam
overflowing the night
with bull frogs' chorus

Betsy White

winter nap
startled awake
by the sudden dark

Isaac Walls

lorikeet lands
on camellia branch
petal shower

Vanessa Proctor
