A.Haiku

Second Prize
Maria Tirenescu

Lonely in the rain –
a sparrow under the hand
of the bronze statue

Usamljena na kiši–
vrabac pod rukom
brončane sculpture


Second Prize
Dan Iulian

childhood alley–
travelling from dawn to dusk
among the chalk suns

prilaz školi–
putujem od zore do sumraka
između sunaca od krede


Honorable Mention
Vasile Moldovan

In the public garden
girls and boys walk two and two –
summer vacation

U gradskom vrtu
djevojčice i dječaci šeću u parovima –
ljetni praznici

B.Secvență Haiku/
HAIKU SEQUENCE AWARD

Second Prize
Lavana Kray

copii în al nouălea cer -
o piscină
pe un zgârâie-nori

children on cloud nine -
a swimming pool
on a skyscraper

djeca na oblaku broj devet–
plivački bazen
na neboderu
*
curcubeu -
jumătate printre blocuri
jumătate-n mintea mea

rainbow –
half of it between skyscrapers
other half in my mind

duga–
pola između nebodera
pola u mojoj mašti
*
pălării de pai
de pe-un trotuar pe altul -
ritm semaforizat

straw hats movement
from one sidewalk to the other –
rhythm of traffic lights

kretanje slamnatog šešira
s jedno pločnika na drugi –
ritam prometnih semafora
*
unele intră,altele ies -
tocuri şi iarbă
în crăpături de-asfalt

a few in, a few out –
heels and grass
in the asphalt cracks

nekoliko unutra, nekoliko vani –
štikle i trava
u pukotinama asfalta
*
în hamac -
Luna legănându-se
printre macarale

lying in a hammock –
the Moon swinging
among the cranes

ležeći u mreži za ljuljanje –
mjesec se njiše
između dizalica

Third Prize/
Cezar-Florin Ciobîcă

chapel in ruins–
fireflies refreshing
the saints' halo

ruševna kapelica–
krijesnice osvježavaju
aureole svetaca
*
scorching day –
the sound of beans
popping out of pods

vrlo vruć dan–
zvuk graha
što iskače iz mahune
*
near dusk–
an old couple blowing out
dandelions

gotovo sumrak–
stari par ispuhuje
maslačke
*
searing heat–
in the shadow of the mosque
praying mantises

žestoka vrućina –
u sjeni džamije
bogomoljke
*
sultry night –
even the Milky Way
in the spring wells

sparna noć–
čak i Mliječna staza
u izvorima

Third Prize
Opica Pădeanu

vara eterna
un trandafir sculptat
in marmura.

endless summer
a rose carved
in marble.

beskrajno ljeto
ruža urezana
u mramor.
*
briza florilor
geant postasului
ticsita de ganduri.

breeze of the flower
the postman's bag
stuffed with thoughts.

povjetarac s cvijeta
poštarova torba
krcata mislima
*
seara de vara
in locul cerului
lumini de neon.

summer evening
instead of the sky
neon lights.

ljetno veče
umjesto neba
neonska rasvjeta
*
tufa de iasomie
lumina diluata
in arteziana.

jasmine shrub
the light diluted
into the fountain.

grm jasmina
razrijeđeno svjetlo
u fontani

C.Senryu

Third Prize
Maria Tirenescu

Shower –
some people in piscine
others under umbrelas

Pljusak –
neki ljudi u bazenu
neki pod kišobranima
