Coming soon...

the third edition of Indian kukai  brought to you by the IN haiku group.

The kukai had gone international in the last edition with participation from 12 countries and we are hoping that all you haiku poets from around the world will continue to support us in our endeavor with your active participation in the coming editions too. The uniqueness of this Indian kukai is that it gives you 7 points to play with during the voting phase, as opposed to the usual 6 points allotted in other kukai contests. Liberating, isn't it?

Please follow our blog here and watch this space for the next announcement that is going to come in just a few days.

INDIAN KUKAI

The Indian kukai # 01

Our haiku group IN kukai held the first ever Indian kukai contest this month.

Kash poet and Vinay Ravindranath were the hosts for this inaugural edition and participation was limited to group members only.

Theme of the contest was "music', quality of the responses excellent and Nandini Nair took the first place with the following heart-warming haiku:

 my baby's heartbeat

against mine-

the rhythm for our lullaby

Nandini Nair

Arvinder Kaur secured the second place with this very pretty haiku:

distant echoes--

a murmuring brook 

in her anklets 

Arvinder Kaur
 

And I managed to get the the third place with this one:

misty moon--

I almost remember that song 

dad used to sing 

The other ones that deserve a special mention are these:

another winter night...

the lone watchman's

same whistle tune

RK Sameer 

and

 evening raga-

the prussian wing -tips

of a blue jay

Paresh Tiwari 

IN kukai has plans to go international with the Indian kukai very soon, probably by early next year. Watch this space for further details and announcements.
