The 11th Yamadera Basho Memorial Museum English Haiku Contest



Selected Haiku Submissions


The Basho’s brush –
it seems that it would write
even nowadays

Vasile Moldovan (Romania)

In the dark
grandma’s quinces illuminate
the window pane

You, dahlia 
I hear you’ve blossomed
after my departure

Adina Enachescu (Romania)

Orchard in white
just like a bride – 
springtime

The drums of the rain –
the concert of the solo crickets
is postponing itself

Vasile Cojocaru (Romania)

Moonless night –
the plum blossoms
light the orchard

Candles under the eaves –
the sun is reflected
in the ice floes

Constantin Stroe (Romania)

warm shower –
the red peony remains
without petals

empty room –
in the clay vase
a dry daisy

Maria Tirenescu (Romania)


gathering thyme…
left wondering
what’s next

Ciobîcă CezarͲFlorin (Romania)

first snowflakes –
the relationships between us
are thawing

Iulian Ciupitu (Romania)

Atlas Poetica • Issue 35, a Journal of World Tanka Published by Keibooks


1
 no trace of you
 to the end of the road—
 there will be 
 no more obstacles, one day,
 when we both become shadows 

2
 snowdrifts . . .  
 a pair of puddles 
 under the sun—
 we could repeat our story, 
 if we were two icicles 

3
I hear steps
although no one passes by 
overnight—
my longing for you rolls  
around like a cogwheel 

Lavana Kray
