Weekly Romanian Kukai no. 575


First Place – Angelescu Cristina


echo in-between the valleys -
the silence lies down
snowflake over snowflake



Second Place – Mona Gheorghe


fresh snow -
the quail at the gate
changes its blooms


Third Place – Mihai Talașman


cold drizzle -
a question mark
grandma’s body


Mention – Ion Cuzuioc


extinguished candle –
drowned in oil
mother’s tear


Mention – Mihai Pascaru


very old house -
in the window only the spider
pulls the curtain


Mention – Mirela Brăilean


steam train -
climbing up on the hill sweating
children with sleighs


Mention – Ana Urma


night with moon –
an icicle carrying heavy rays
right in the window


Mention – Valeria Tamaș


the lonely nut tree –
under the heavy moon
night after night


Mention – Valeria Tamaș


grandmother’s school –
the bean grains
used as abacus
