moving day
the Diary of a Wimpy Kid
full of cherry petals

cherry trees in bloom—
the old gardener
brightens up

autumn wind
all the colors' feeling
on my skin
uproar
no more place
for birdsong

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,rejected call –
the warm psithurism,
another option
