First Place 


   in and out
   of the morning mist
   rabbits
                      Alison Williams


Second Place 


   snowy garden~
   next to the Buddha statue
   a stone rabbit
                     soji


Third Place 


   scorched field
   tufts of rabbit fur
   dot the barbed wire
                        Ferris

   the fog has left
   rabbit droppings
   on the lawn
                Dennis H. Dutton
