Comments on the Winning Haiku by David McMurray
Akita International University President’s Award is presented to the writer of this prize-winning haiku in the English section:
Penned in 5-7-5 syllable form, this spring season haiku has been experienced by everyone. Family photographs help us to cherish the memories of graduation ceremonies, entrance ceremonies, weddings, new jobs, and funerals. The few carefully chosen words in this haiku, and the tremendously clear image it shares, makes it a moment to remember forever.
Flowering dogwoods—
slowly we all line up for
family photo
Akita Chamber of Commerce and Industry President’s Award is presented to the writer of this prize-winning haiku in the English section:
Penned in a concise form, this fall season haiku pays tribute to those who suffered from the typhoons that swept along the Japanese archipelago. From Okinawa through to Akita and Hokkaido and all the way to Russia raging typhoons have been unstoppable. No amount of prayer seemed to help the flooding. Buildings of all sorts, including shrines and temples were brought to their knees. Business owners, priests, and home owners must nonetheless persevere and rebuild the future.
September rain …
the sacred river floods
its shrine
JAL Foundation Award is presented to the writer of this prize-winning haiku in the Student English section:
Penned in scholarly 7-5-5 syllable form, this haiku acknowledges the fear the young and old alike face when being examined. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the neck. Doctors might check the thyroid when patients complain they are feeling drowsy or when cancer is suspected.
thyroid examination
one winged butterflies
fill the waiting room
