Un premiu la un concurs international de haiku..

First Prize, The Endless Column

the Endless Column –

somewhere, another cricket

is counting the stars

I kept coming back to the Endless Column which seemed to both represent a particular place and event but also so much struggle in so many countries, not just Romania, but every country through time.   The mention of a cricket (another cricket) counting stars is a magical and memorable part of this haiku.  The two images worked well bouncing off each other, and another cricket is counting the stars lifted this haiku quite literally beyond its immediate place to perhaps one of Japan’s favorite haiku writers, that of Issa, who felt at one with all insects in particular, because of his tough and challenging life.  (Alan Summers, 2013 WMF Haiku Contest Judge)

Te voi lauda din toata inima mea, Doamne Dumnezeul meu, si voi preamari Numele Tau in veci! 
Caci mare este bunatatea Ta fata de mine, si Tu imi izbavesti sufletul din adanca locuinta a mortilor. ” (Psalm 86:9-13)
