Thank you, Linda! Glad you found your way here :) You may submit one more unitl the deadline.

Linda, please confirm that in your second haiku, L2 reads "weal" (a wealth? or, a mark on skin?) and not "veil" ... or, something else for that matter :)

краткий миг вечности
отражается в пруду
осень
***
молчишь в ответ
как мне понять тебя
осень
***
падаюшая звезда
озаряет на миг
каменный лик

Привет, Марина! (мы уже на "ты" если забыла :) Спасибо, рада тебя видеть.

Спасибо за напоминание, Ольга!!!Я немного поторопилась с конкурсом, потому что буду занята эти дни и боялась пропустить время...С теплом, Марина.

Ничего страшного. Как всегда, можно до истечения срока заменять присланные стихи, если что-то на твой взгляд вдруг напишется лучше :)

Thanks for your poem, Ron -- good to see you here!

Hi Olga,

Thanks for checking my haiku as there is indeed a word that has dropped out somehow.
It should read:

ancient gatherings
a flying white star
falls from my brush

[origa]

That's what I thought :) Thanks, Ron! You may now see the TRANSLATIONS Part I -- go to http://origa.livejournal.com/185565.html (with your haiku included :)
