Issue 3 - December 2025 - Readers’ Choice

we're talking about

how the cotton grass sways

and loves the peatlands

we are all carnivorous

eating each other again

Fatma Zohra Habis, Algeria

Thanks to all who sent in votes for the Readers' Choice from issue 2. 

I was happy to see that this tanka was appreciated by Quail Eggs readers. It seems to me to have a lightness of the kind that the Japanese call karumi, as well as a recognition of the darker side of the natural world and interdependence.

Congratulations Fatma Zohra Habis!
