A GRADE seven student from
West Vancouver is one of the win-
ners in the Expo 86 poetry contest.

Tanya Hoekstra was one of six

young students in B.C. to win the
Haiku poetry contest, sponsored
by Japan Air Lines and the Japan
Pavilion.
“ Haiku poeras are a traditional
Japanese literary form and typi-
cally take an instant picture of
something in nature. No attempt is
made to make the lines rhyme, but
rather the intention is to convey a
sense of the season of the year, an
event or an observation.

Hoekstra wrote: ‘‘The water
falls — Down it falls, far down,
far — It is a long fall.”’

The judge, professor Kazuo Sato
of Waseda University, Tokyo,
selected 21 poems out of over
1,000 submitted.

Each winner received a copy of
the book A Day in the Life of
