Judges Notes:  This take on Basho’s old pond haiku is fresh. It creates contrast within itself via synaesthesia, and within the greater haiku body of work as it constructs a youthful foil to the famous ancient pond haiku of Basho. Even beyond that, it still manages to impress with a strong image and kigo, evoking that sense of nostalgia and joy we all crave.
