Caribbean Kigo Kukai
The Kukai - a haiku contest, where each person submits a haiku, and then, becomes a judge. When all the poems are compiled in a list, the contestants comment, vote, and give scores to poems of their choice. One cannot comment on, nor vote for one’s own poem. At the end of the voting process winners emerge, the selection based on votes by the kukai’s contestants.

The Kigo is Summer Vacation

--gillena cox
How does summer vacation enter the everyday conversation of the average Trini, when in our part of the globe we do not experiences the seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter? Well, the concept has its own definition for the Caribbean. In T&T. ‘Summer vacation’ is the longest school break for the year, and it’s the fore runner to new beginnings for many. Eleven to twelve year olds would have received their results of SEA an entrance exam into secondary schools, they can now exhale, and go to camps, malls, or be packed off on overseas visits to friends and relatives where there are real summer climes; or, play host to friends and relatives from abroad who come to vacation with them.
