the
silence of the words
yellowed
by time
Beverly
Acuff Momoi comment:
We have a different
use of yellow in this haiku; here it’s a verb. Although it carries the notion
of color, when it is a verb, it conveys aging, and so my response is more
reflective, sad.

first snowdrop -
the remainder of the day
becomes bearable
Michael Dylan Welch Judge's Remarks: Some species of snowdrop flower in winter, bringing a white
brightness to the dreariness of the darkest season. The middle line also
suggests Kazuo Ishiguro’s, The Remains of the Day, a novel about loyalty and
moral dilemma. What’s left of the day, and perhaps also the season and of life,
becomes more optimistic because of the flower.
Youth Honorable Mentions

turbulence
. . .
holding tight the hand
of my imaginary friend
Judge's Remarks: This
poem’s first line shows us that we’re on an airplane. The second line presents
realistic comfort against the stress of midair turbulence. And then the third
line provides a twist—that this friend is not real but imaginary. This could be
an adult as easily as we might picture a child. Although the held hand is
imagined, the turbulence is real. But surely the comfort is also real.
Gian-Luca Niculce
Botosani, Romania
no
one attentive
to the round-up lesson
cherry blossoms
Judge's
Remarks: Learning how to round
up numbers is a common lesson in younger school grades. But no one is paying
attention because of cherry blossoms outside the school window. They are
beautiful and ephemeral, perhaps shimmering in a breeze. How could any student
pay attention to their lesson? What each student may not yet realize is their
own ephemerality. Perhaps the real lesson is the beauty of nature.

wind-brushed pond
a little dragonfly settles
in a paper boat
Judge's Remarks: We may immediately wonder who made the boat. Surely the person who also witnesses the dragonfly alighting on their creation. That small boat serves as respite for the small dragonfly, surely just as making the paper boat is a kind of respite or joy for the person who made it. Perhaps both the person and the dragonfly are seeking calm in the face of challenge and change.
