La revue du haïku n ° 63 - Février 2016

Maria Tirenescu
 
le ciel plein d'étoiles–
j’éteins la lumière
à te rêver 
 
miroir d’eau–
la lumière dorée
du crépuscule
 

The Shiki Monthly Kukai February 2016

Kigo Theme: An OUTING
 
boat ride –
out of the blue I let her
touch a cloud
 
Ana Drobot
Bucharest, Romania
(2,1,5) = 13 pts
**I love the movement of the river and the clouds in this one, and that it’s either a parent and a child, or a young romantic love. It’s open to the reader to fill in the gaps in the way they would like to, which is a great feature of many haiku.
**Wow! How key that simple word “let” is in this haiku, signifying a young girl on this boat ride with her parent who allows her to lean over the boat to touch a cloud reflected in the water. This poem says so much about being a parent with a young child, making those allowances, and it even suggests what will come in the future as the child ages, how the parent will have to “let” go. So tender and emotional!
 
 
outing
all around the secular oak -
great-grandfather's birthday
 
Lavana Kray
Romania
(0,1,2) = 4 pts
 
hill outing –
a toddler counting
the sparrows
 
Miorita
(0,0,3) = 3 pts
**I like lines 2-3 very much, but line 1 doesn't work hard enough.
  
shaky deep blue line
tracing the mid-term field trip
on the map…
 
Cristian Mocanu
 ^^Author’s note: This month’s topic struck a chord: in childhood I was told to stay away from many school actions, due to disability
 
Free Format Theme: SLEEPLESS NIGHT
 
the one...
waking me up 
his absence
 
Ana Drobot
Bucharest, Romania
(0,4,6) = 14 pts
**This piece barely gets one of my votes notwithstanding the odd inclusion of a cutting marker at the end of line 1.
 
stormy night -
refreshing her to do list in life
after mammogram
 
Lavana kray
Romania
(0,1,3) = 5 pts
 
sleepless night
the icicles dripping
like a broken tap
 
L.Csilla
(0,1,3) = 5 pts
 
deadline approaching:
identical coffee mugs
their Valentine’s gifts
 
Cristian Mocanu
(0,1,0) = 2 pts
 
Sleepless night -
counting the stars
of Pleiades
 
Miorita
  
Eyes wide open
dreaming of the moon –
white night
 
Virginia Popescu 
PHOENIX

Steliana Cristina Voicu eyes a hunger moon in Romania.
Valentine’s evening--
my cat shares the moon view
with the neighbour’s cat

Steliana Cristina Voicu received a citrus-scented gift on lover’s day in Ploiesti, Romania. 
After Valentine’s--
new perfume with bergamote
on his pillow

International Haiku Magazine Ginyu- nr.69

Lavana Kray ne-a trimis:    

1
war refugees -
the breath of a girl blurs
a doll house window
x
refugiați -
o fetiță aburind
vitrina cu păpuși
2
the wind is a blur
but I see it on a stone -
butterfly wings
x
vânt abia simțit
dar îl văd pe o piatră -
aripi de fluturi
"Sadness and delicacy you found in ordinary life and expressing them in haiku is nice."
