For those that want to unleash their poetic potential, here is how this contest works:


• Look at the prompt image and let yourself be inspired by it.

• Write a haiku related to the prompt image. The haiku should be composed by 1-3 short verses with no title. The classical haiku form is 3 verses of 5/7/5 syllables, but other forms are allowed, as long as they remain in absolute brevity.

• If you aren’t confident with English enough, you can write your haiku in Spanish, French, or Italian as well. Only remember, if you write in languages different from English, please include an English translation for other readers.

• Post the haiku on your blog or in the comment section below this post. If you make your own post, don’t forget to put the link to it in the comment section below!

Do you want to know how we evaluate the submitted haiku? These are the characteristics we search for (but not mandatorily):

• Kireji (切れ字), a cut between the 1st and the 2nd verses, or between the 2nd and the 3rd; the cut can be grammatical, as a sign of punctuation, or it can be a cut in the meaning, like two different images.

• Kigo (季語), an explicit or implicit reference to a season, that defines the time of the year in which the haiku is composed or referred to.

• Sabi (寂), the sense of the inexorable passage of time, the beauty or serenity that accompanies the advance of age, when the life of the objects and its impermanence are highlighted by patina and wear or by any visible repairs.

• Wabi (侘寂), the taste for frugal and natural things, rustic simplicity, freshness or silence; it can be applied to both natural and artificial objects, or even non-ostentatious elegance.

• Mono no aware (物の哀れ), empathy with nature and human life; the "feeling of things", nostalgia, regret for the passing of time, understanding of the changeability and of the transience without suffering.

• Yūgen (幽玄), sense of wonder and mystery; it represents the state of mind produced by the inexplicable fascination of things, the feeling of an 'other' universe, full of mysterious unity.

• Karumi (軽み), beauty in simplicity; poetic beauty reflected in its simplicity, free from preconceptions and moral judgment.

• Shiori (しおり), gentleness; the levity and the delicate charm that radiates from the verses, where things are evoked in the reader without aggressiveness or excessive explicitness.

Dark clouds cover sky
Arch silhouette the skyline
Street lights shine for miles

Contrast between darkness and light. A haiku that seems descriptive, but that makes me think of the intrusiveness of man, who with its powerful lights disturbs the calm shadow of the sky.

A portal no more
Whatever used to come through
Lost to the new age

The supernatural note was missing in the contest... Very ingenious and original! A sort of abandoned Stargate ... what a powerful image!

I guess I am going towards that a lot lately ;)

sky wraps up the day
light switches darkness through arch
i catch horizon

Every verse here is a different movement of a short symphony. the first speaks of a natural rhythm, the second of an artificial rhythm, the third of the individual

Vote your favorite haiku (from this edition) down here:

Excuse me ¿Just one?

Yes, just one :)

Difícil decisión.

This is so difficult.

I am voting for @felixgarciap. The structure of the haiku is right and I like the it transforms the actual image imaginatively into something else. Now when I look at it I see a tounge:-)

Nice!

Descriptivo y sugestivo haiku el de @salvao, me gustó la dualidad ajetreo - calma. Va para él mi humilde voto.

Mi voto, después de dudarlo entre varios, es para @oacevedo. Me gusta de su poema cómo realza los elementos significativos de la imagen, y lo hace con sutileza y me atrevería a decir magnificencia. Un saludo!

La foto de @theironfelix reúne un conjunto de elementos capaces de generar, por nuestra mirada y pensamiento, diversos y ricos ejercicios poéticos al estilo haiku. Como acostumbro, indico mis favoritos de eta edición, sin ningún orden de preferencia: @javert68justice, @oscarina, @oacevedo, @salvao, @darthgexe, @adncabrera y @ntowl, quienes, a su modo, han sabido jugar con aspectos que podría sugerir o despertar la foto. De todos los nombrados, mis favoritos son @oacevedo, @adncabrera y @@@darthgexe (que creo que es un nuevo participante); los tres abordan, con sutileza y propuesta poética, elementos clave: oscuridad / noche, luz/día y puente como tránsito y unión. Entre los tres, en difícil decisión, voto por @oacevedo.

My favorites this week were from Darthgexe and Mllg. Since I have to choose, I'll go with Mllg's haiku, please.

Mi entrada, amigos de @bananafish.
Gracias a @theironfelix por esa foto. Me encantó.


Cruzar el puente
Hasta el fuego celeste:
Ser otra luz.


To cross the bridge
until the sky fire:
To be other light.


¡Suerte para todos los que concursan en esta edición!

Me parece mágico lograr a través de la misma imagen tantas visiones y percepciones diferentes.
Pienso que todo va de acuerdo al momento y la actitud. Según mi lectura, @lecumberre, debutando con una simpática participación y un haiku aferrado a la rima. @adncabrera, transmite esperanza y fuerza
@oacevedo, logras el equilibrio perfecto entre luces y sombras, como la vida misma. @josemalavem, por el contrario ve más oscuridad que luz en este ejercicio. @Salvao, transita por la cotidianidad, manteniendo una visión clara del entorno. @mllg, percibe la noche como amenaza. @naylet, siente la imagen y la transforma en poesía. @acostacazorla, cita a Babel. Quizás al caos y al ojo controlador que acecha. @solperez, visualiza el dominio de la naturaleza por encima delo terrenal.
Mi voto es para @adncabrera, esperanza, movimiento y constante búsqueda de algo mejor.

Nubes sombrías
Un mundo en ocaso
Se abre la noche

Sombre clouds
A world in twilights
The night is opening
