Dear haiku friends,
in the fourth edition of the EQK you submitted many good haiku. We had a
large dose of excitement in the time of voting. Finally, the three authors
obtained a significant advantage, which they managed to keep until the end.
This time, the first place for Sara Winteridge (England). Second place for the
winner of the third edition: Sondra J. Byrnes (USA) and just behind her Kashinath
Karmakar (India). Congratulations to the winners and to all participants.
We are glad that you are with us, and the world team of haiku is
becoming increasingly numerous. We are proud of your achievements.
The first year for us! Let's play in next one.
