Justus Fine Art Gallery hosted a Haiku poetry contest during the month of October. The poems were to be based on the artwork on display that month and Howard Kilby graciously selected the following winners from the wonderful entries. Thank you to all who participated!
First Place – Mary Zunick
Poem inspired by Eli Vega’s photograph “Sunflower”
Brilliant yellow light
Sparks joy in the soul
To me and to bees
Second Place – Donna Casparian
Poem inspired by Beverly Buys’ photograph “My Garden”
Garden Rooster crows
The morning heart awakens
Broken like an egg
Third Place – Janine Davis
Poem inspired by Michael Ashley’s ceramic vessel “Ozark Landscape”
From the earth we rise
Our hearts beat in the mountains
Breath one with the sky
