Silent in flight,
a great grey owl sails
across the meadow grass.

The winner:

Orange streaked blue
sets south by southwest; summer's song's
now autumn's cool.

I can only laugh! I didn't think either of these were the best, but my readers have spoken!

So what is the Sushi contest all about?

Every Wednesday at 5 p.m. I join the line out in front of Sushihana for dollar sushi night. So every Wednesday I will hand out a 'zine with 8 poems. Now ... the poems have to be very very small, because this micro 'zine will be only 2 1/8" x 2 3/4 (or 5.4 cm x 7 cm) or possibly smaller (4.5 cm x 5 cm) depending on whether I use standard 8 1/2" x 11" paper or legal size and how I set it up and cut it. Think of a business card folded in half. It will be about the size of a single serving of sushi.

I want to do this for 8 weeks, then reassess.

I figure I can do an on-line contest once a week. Probably on a Saturday or Sunday. Hopefully get more than 6 votes. But ... all votes are precious. A hug and a thank-you to all who participated.
