Romanian Monthly Kukai June 2016

 Theme: using the word "pollen"

Special Prize


funeral under the lime tree –
retouched by pollen
the decorations

Doina Bogdan Wurm


Everything takes on a special aura under the linden tree in bloom. The funeral coincides with the vital unleashing of nature. And, ironically, the deserved decorations acquired in life are satirized by the continous falling pollen, which slowly overwhelms them. Vanitas vanitatum. (Corneliu Traian Atanasiu)

First place

after the storm -
golden with pollen
the puddle in the road

Second Place

pollen on the eyelashes
thighs and hair -
butterflies in the stomach

Vali Iancu


Third Place

origami flower –
searching for its pollen
thirsty butterflies

pollen over the photos -
the black and white wedding ring

Fifth Place

moon getting smaller –
all the pollen shaken off
into the old lake

Gabriel Iordan Dorobanţu


on the last road -
the pollen smoothing
his wrinkles

Florin Florian


Sixth Place

intoxicating smell –
the pollen goes into the hive
staggering all the way

Grigore Chitul



the wind through the willows -
the pollen in the catkins
making the sight look golden

Argentina Stanciu
