Ginyu Haiku Gallery - 110

 Selected and commented by Ban’ya Natsuishi

1.

opt martie –

înfloresc vânzările


de implant mamar

 

March 8th –

flourishing sales

of breast implants

 

2

înaltul cerului –

pictat, sculptat, venerat,

nevăzutul

 

height of the sky –

painted, sculpted, idolized,

the unseen

 

3

sufletul lutului,

în ulcior, ulcică, groapă –

nimeni nu-i singur

 

the soul of clay,

in a jug, a cup, a pit –

no one is alone

 

4

împachetați

cu nămol terapeutic –

flirt


wrapped

in therapeutic mud –

flirting


5

petrecere cu măști –

în sfârșit, poți fi

tu însuți

 

masquerade party –

you can finally

be yourself

 

6

zodie de foc –

doi brazi frați, separați

de-o nouă graniță

 

fire zodiac sign –

fir tree brothers separated

by a new border

 

 7

fereastră la drum –

aceiași oameni singuri

de ambele părți

 

walkside window –

the same lonely people

inside and out



Lavana Kray



Commnetary:

 Mulțumesc pentru aceste haiku-uri minunate. 

Your haiku are filled with sharp inside and longing for the sublime.

I am delighted to see how deeply you have refined your artistry as a haiku poet.

Your style in the 1st and 6th haiku, which critically portrays reality, is as remarcable as your work in the third, 5th and 7th, which sings of human loneliness and solidarity.

      WINNERS


      last day of summer...

      the sky stretches with leaves

      over the loft of dreams


      Steliana Cristina Voicu


      boundless blue

      for a moment a dolphin

      leaps into the sky


      Iulian Ciupitu


      end of summer 

      fewer butterflies

      visiting the nursing home


      Capotă Daniela Lăcrămioara


      the vendor street

      selling the last boomerang

      flock of cranes
