Haiku Society of America Haiku Award
in Memorial of Harold G. Henderson
1992
First Place:
deep winter.
the armload of firewood
chills the kitchen
Carol A. Purington
Second Place:
mourning dove calls . . .
my elderly neighbor stills
the sound of her hoeing
James Chessing
Third Place:
August morning—
a window washer wiping dust
from his sunglasses
Lenard D. Moore
