The Haiku contest awards were announced last night at Kublai Khantina, but for those who missed, here it goes for the complete list. Since there was such an excellent poetry, we decided to give 2 awards for the humorous Haiku (silver and gold) and 3 awards for the Haiku (bronze, silver and gold).

I want to sincerely congratulate everybody who participated, the poems were all wonderful and I mean it! For the excellent participation, here is a fine plaque (art work by our stunning Lalita!), if you want to display it at your home!
