The Weekly Romanian Haiku contest no. 411 has
prompted haiku author Costin Iliescu, the winner of the most recent volume
publishing contest organized by Romanian Kukai (2015), to create a new project
for his fellow haijin.
Every Saturday, the participants will choose haikus
from the list of anonymous poems sent every Friday and write a new haiku,
starting from an image or an idea in the haiku they read and that inspires
them. They will choose their own haiku that inspired them and then write a new
one.
The first list of poems is available on the blog http://poemeinspirate.blogspot.ro/.
From Weekly Contest no. 411, Costin Iliescu has chosen poem no. 23. Afterwards,
the participants created their own:
poem no.
