Congratulations, IHLR Haiku Winners!

We recently asked you for your best haiku using either the word IRON or HORSE. Here are the top five haiku submissions (in no particular order):

Marty Smith:

At sunset I watch
the horse on the horizon
pulling heavy iron

Lauren Tamraz:

Dust pricks the long day
campfire does little to soothe
horses, dust bleed out.

Sarah Spencer Polda:

Glacial iron milk
cascades clear with autumn chill
red leaves float on stones.

Benjamin Vogt:

Horses dance in dreams
after vodka, violins–
the iron in my head.

Stella Pierides:

Wood-carved flying horse
blue trail on the carousel
men died defending.
