# Here come the winners of this edition! # # ¡Aquí vienen los ganadores de esta edición! #
## Best Haiku / Mejor Haiku (1 Hive SBI):
**@bertrayo** >The green crown slips nature's grasp- a leaf falls. > * > El velo verde, abandona la tierra; hojas al viento.
The prize is for the haiku in English, which the author told me he composed first. Haiku in Spanish is not a translation, but a variation that is best suited to this language. The English version, however, conveys a stronger and more suggestive image, especially in the third *ku*, after the *kireji*. With the *toriawase* technique, the poignant image of a single falling leaf harmonizes and amplifies the previous image of nature losing its "green crown" as the winter season arrives. *** El premio es para el haiku en inglés, que el autor me dijo que compuso primero. El haiku en español no es una traducción, sino una variación que se adapta mejor a este idioma. La versión en inglés, sin embargo, transmite una imagen más fuerte y sugerente, especialmente en el tercer *ku*, después del *kireji*. Con la técnica *toriawase*, la imagen conmovedora de una sola hoja que cae se armoniza con la imagen anterior de la naturaleza perdiendo su "corona verde" con la llegada de la temporada de invierno y la amplifica.

## Popular Choice / Elección popular (1 Hive SBI):
**@wolffeys** > Colours of Autumn, few leaves remain, revealing unobstructed views
This 5/7/5 "classic" haiku earned the same number of audience votes as Bertrayo's, but having awarded the other one as Best Haiku, this one wins the Popular Choice. The disenchanted gaze, devoid of lyrical affectation, captures the passage of the season with a strong *kigo*, the trees losing leaves, as noted by the voters, but I would also add that it underlines how absence opens up to new views ... like the few strokes sketches of Japanese landscape paintings. *** Este haiku "clásico" en 5/7/5 obtuvo el mismo número de votos de la audiencia que el de Bertrayo, pero habiendo premiado al otro como Mejor Haiku, éste gana la Elecciòn Popular. La mirada desencantada, desprovista de afectación lírica, capta el paso de la temporada con un *kigo* fuerte, los árboles que pierden hojas, como apuntan los votantes, pero también yo añadiría que subraya cómo la ausencia se abre a nuevas miradas...como los bocetos de pocos trazos de las pinturas de paisajes japoneses.

## Best Vote Comment / Mejor comentario de voto (1 Hive SBI each):
**@gracielaacevedo** >Una sensación de suave nostalgia contemplativa "Paro y respiro/en el camino al campo" (@salvao) ha producido la hermosa foto de @f3nix. A la vez aparece una impetuosa necesidad de interpretar ( ¿de humanizar?) la naturaleza "earth's will unfolds" (@owasco), "para vestir su traje/blanco el invierno" @acevedo). La protagonista es la tierra que parece que muere cuando "el verde velo" la abandona según @bertrayo y que comienza (@sacra97) y recomienza (@josemalavem). Ante la imposibilidad de definir en el circulo infinito de las estaciones surge el comodín de la belleza por contraste "En otoñal contraste" (@mllg) en clave cromática "gris y naranja" (@marcybetancourt). A mí nada me habla mejor del otoño que la caída de las hojas y el espectáculo de ver los árboles desnudos, por ello voto por el haiku de @wolffeys Colours of Autumn, few leaves remain, revealing unobstructed views * > *A feeling of soft contemplative nostalgia "Stop and breathe / on the road to the field" (@salvao) has produced the beautiful photo of @f3nix. At the same time there is an impetuous need to interpret (to humanize?) Nature "earth's will unfolds" (@owasco), "to wear his suit / white winter" @acevedo). The protagonist is the land that seems to die when "the green veil" leaves it according to @bertrayo and that begins (@sacra97) and starts again (@josemalavem). Faced with the impossibility of defining in the infinite circle of the seasons, the wild card of beauty by contrast arises "In autumnal contrast" (@mllg) in "gray and orange" color key (@marcybetancourt). Nothing speaks to me better of autumn than the fall of the leaves and the spectacle of seeing naked trees, that's why I vote for the haiku of @wolffeys Colors of Autumn, few leaves remain, revealing unobstructed views*
I liked Graciela's comment a lot because it seeks a common thread through the haiku of the participants, almost suggesting to read them as a *renga* (Bertrayo noted this, too), or rather as if they were all written during a *ginko* , one of those "group walks with haiku" I mentioned in one of the last theoretical articles. It's nice to think that if we were all together in better times, we could have taken a trip to the countryside and written these haiku immersed in the landscape of the photo. *** Me gustó mucho el comentario de Graciela porque busca un hilo conductor a través del haiku de los participantes, casi sugiriendo leerlos como *renga* (Bertrayo también lo notó), o más bien como si todos estuvieran escritos durante un *ginko* , uno de esos "paseos grupales con haiku" que mencioné en uno de los últimos artículos teóricos. Es lindo pensar que si estuviéramos todos juntos en mejores tiempos, podríamos haber hecho un viaje al campo y escribir estos haiku inmersos en el paisaje de la foto.
