Rezultate AHS 2024 Spring Solstice Haiga Kukai: Seasonal

 Highly commended

blowing in the fire a few rekindled memories

Mirela Brailean, Romania

This captivating haiku has a lyrical quality that draws the reader into a dreamlike space. The image of memories reigniting inside of a fire is a beautiful one. I loved the unique and interesting interpretation of the artwork as well – where the haiku blossoms turn into sparks of memory along the pathways or branches of the mind.

1

alarmă aeriană -
de-a v-ați ascunselea
nu mai e un joc

air raid alarm -
playing hide and seek
is no longer a game

2
nimeni și nimic –
doar câte un gard,
sprijin la drum

no one and nothing –
only a fence to lean on
on my way

3
tic-tac oprit  –
unele ceasuri merg
doar în pereche

tick-ticking off –
some clocks are made
to be in pair only

4
ceasornic vechi
repornit de spirite –
să zâmbesc sau nu

my old watch
restarted by spirits –
to smile or not

5
carte cu lipsuri –
în spațiile goale
puteai fi tu

book gaps –
in the empty spaces
could be you

6
ușă forțată -
numai iedera stă
cum vrea zidul

forcing the door out  -
only the ivy stands
as the wall wants to

7

apel respins –

șoapta frunzișului cald,
altă opțiune

rejected call –
the warm psithurism,
another option

1

frontiere -

o floare-n colțul gurii,

drept pașaport

 

borders -
a flower in the corner of your mouth,
as a passport

 

2

oriunde e fân,

acolo sunt acasă –

hărți măsluite

where there's hay,

that's where I'm home –

rigged maps

3

urme de sânge

pe drumul spre casă –

lup cu lunetă

 

traces of blood

all the way home –

sniper wolf

4

iarba de-acasă –

singur printre obuze

un vițel de-o zi

home meadow –

alone among bombshells,

a day-old calf

 

5

rătăcire –

nu ochiul e de vină

lumea e în ceață

 

lost –

it's not the eye' s fault

the world is in the fog

 

6

stare de război –

doi gânsaci sălbatici trag

de aceeași râmă

state of war –

two wild ganders pulling on

the same earthworm

 

7

horoscop –

vrând să schimbi lumea,

începi cu vecinul

 

 

horoscope –

trying to change the world,      

start with your neighbor
