This year's Haiku Award goes to David Monteigh for his poem "paper lanterns."
David Monteith is a former high school teacher—he lived and
taught in San Antonio for nearly 20 years. Now he lives in Little Rock,
Arkansas, where he is a journalist, a dog sitter, a facilitator, an Iyengar
yoga practitioner, and a writer. He also runs an Etsy shop (Ex Libris Novum)
where he sells earrings he makes out of comic book word bubbles. He loves
playing with words. He's written three children's stories that haven't yet
found a home. Last year he won a Banned Book Week writing contest with a story
written in the style of 1001 Arabian
Nights. “Paper Lanterns” is his first published poem.

haiku by David Monteith
Breathe, then place
your thoughts
like paper lanterns on
the
river of your breath
