1994 Nature Company
The following are my selections for the first “Haiku for the Earth” contest sponsored by the Nature Company in San Mateo, California. I don’t believe I wrote any commentary on these poems. These results were announced 7 August 1994. Winners received Nature Company gift certificates. See also the 1995 results.
