Global
Haiku Festival
Ginko
April
16, 2000
Decatur, Illinois
Sunday
morning was dedicated to "doing haiku." The weather
cooperated and the students and guests enjoyed a haiku walk
around campus and to the nearby Fairview Park which resulted
in several excellent haiku for the kukai competition.
Haiku
were submitted anonymously and judged by a panel of distinguished
haiku writers and editors including Penny Harter, Peggy
Lyles, Michael Dylan Welch, Robert Spiess, and Mrs. Noma
(pictured at the right below).
Michael
Dylan Welch, A.C. Missias, Mrs. Hakutani, Emiko Miyashita,
student Ryan Casey and Naomi Y. Brown received recognition
and book awards for their haiku. Three of the award winning
haiku are included with the following photographs from the
Ginko.
