Third Place

beyond the darkness
somewhere
the stars still shine

~

Honorable mention

old love letters
a drop of sealing wax
among his words

~

Neoclassical Haiku section

snow falls quietly
only faded memories
of the past year

~

wedding day
first snowflakes
on the bride’s veil

I have two haiku with merit mention in Vanguard Haiku. The subject of this submission was “the death” , a difficult and poignant topic. A special thanks to Susumu Takiguchi, Editor-in-Chief and Rohini Gupta, Editor.

☆
your absence
the loneliness
in every room
☆
funeral wake
an old family rosary
on an empty chair

la tua assenza
la solitudine
in ogni stanza

veglia funebre
un vecchio rosario di famiglia
su una sedia vuota
