A Few Words of Appreciation
This is the second year we held the English
Haiku Contest. As before, we want to thank all
the teachers, students, and schools that
participated. We also want to thank the Board of
Education of Isesaki for providing prizes.
As with last year, it was difficult to decide
which haiku to pick. We are disappointed that we
could not provide more prizes to more people.
Your poems were thoughtful, creative, and funny.
We enjoyed them very much.
Thank you for everything.
