HAIKU MAGAZINE IN ENGLISH, VOL.41, NR. 4 464 Issue AUTUMN-WINTER 2026

 


Am primit revista și voi posta ceea ce e mai important din ceea ce a apărut în acest număr. Poate nu în seara aceasta, dar în câteva zile, voi completa acest articol. 

Acest număr subliniază faptul că revista Ko a împlinit 40 de ani.

Urmează cuvântul editorului și al producătorului. Sunt câteva pagini cu haikuuri, în limba engleză și japoneză, care prezintă creații alese și comentate de Koko Kato. 

Urmează partea cea mai consistentă, în care sunt publicate haikuurile unor poeți, alegerea fiind făcută de editor, dintre poemele trimise rredacției.

Din această selecție, voi scrie aici doar ceea ce a fost apreciat din propunerile poeților români.

VERSE VERSION Vol.15 No.1 2026

 Am deschis revista VERSE VERSION și am găsit mai mule informații în legătură cu poemele care au fost publicate sub semnătura poetului Dan C. Iulian. Le postez aici:


Dan C. Iulian’s haiku capture the quiet nostalgia of rural life and the persistence of

memory. Empty country lanes, returning swallows, drifting snow, and a forgotten shawl

become images of continuity, estrangement, and the gradual fading of the past. His poems often move from close observation of the natural world toward moments of inward reflection:

empty country lanes—

only the swallows

still return home

⁂

reading the sutra—

a dandelion fluff

in levitation

⁂

poppy field aflame—

no one calls

the firefighters

⁂

hummingbird in flight—

waiting for reality

to begin at last

⁂

foggy day—

losing the way

to oneself

⁂

childhood village—

only the vagabond wind

still steals the walnuts

⁂

the snowfall

erases all shades—

dementia

⁂

attic with moon—

the warmth of memories

in a forgotten shawl

        coming home

        in the soldier's bag

        forget-me-not seeds

             — Mircea Moldovan

         

        What is the story behind the forget-me-not seeds in the soldier’s bag? We don’t know. But they represent the hope that someone who is no longer with us will not be forgotten. That’s at the heart of this haiku.

        Good Cheer - Kudos - Gillena Cox - comentariu haiku

         good cheer

         silent night

        a carol reverberates

        among refugees

        --Cezar Florescu, Botoșani/ Romania


        This poem offers readers a juxtaposition allowing them to reflect on what is happening, as well as on what the message is. 

        We can see a very good contrast, between a tradition of the winter holidays and the harsh reality of being a refugee. The carol brings them comfort in an unknown place. At the same time, the silence can also mean peace, suggesting that the refugees have found comfort in a new land. 

        The first line can refer to the well known carol, or the night could literally be silent. If the night is literally silent, then we can see a coincidence and a play upon words, since we hear a carol, which could be one other than Silent Night, among the refugees.

         The winter holidays are a time when we have a high sense of hope, which is reflected in the way in which the night grows silent, as if sympathizing with the refugees, and wishing to offer them a magical moment.

        silent night

        among refugees


        --Cezar Florescu, Botoșani/ Romania


        VOTES: 323***SCORE:16


        COMMENT 1:This haiku reminds us that for hundreds of millions of people, a small, cold stable is still a dream.


        COMMENT 2:The silence in this haiku feels like one of fear and watchfulness; having to deliberately keep still and hush lest they get caught, and/or infers to loss and deprivation - - in the wind floats the distant sounds of singing of only those more favoured. 


        COMMENT 3:Hope in these dreadful times


        COMMENT 4: deeply moving without explanation




        SECOND PLACE

        COMMENT 1:A magic moment celebrated by an optical illusion. We wish to believe in magic with the winter holidays.

          flea market —

          in the amber stone

          another autumn


          Ana Drobot, Romania


          A flea market implies items of little value, but amber, for many women at least, is prized. That first insect name gently led me to imagine an insect trapped in the amber. A nice colour comparison between amber and autumn, and good word choices with all the repeating ‘m’ sounds. Echoes of Shiki’s „for me going /for you staying... /two autumns„.
