Two Prizes for the Best Series
Ksenija Klisura
Svež časopis -
na prstih odtisnjene
dnevne novice.
fresh newspaper --
at my fingers
the daily news
Na avtobusu
zamišljeni potniki,
otrok pa poje.
on the bus
all the passengers lost in thoughts --
a child sings
Sonce se kopa,
v kupoli mošeje
ogleduje blišč.
the sun bathes --
eyeing its brilliance
on the mosque dome
Sivi šal megle
nežno ovija vitke
vratove stolpnic.
gray scarf of fog
tenderly wraps around
the thin tails of skyscrapers
Praznično jutro
med prsti leze v dan -
kot kaplja medu.
holiday morning
slides down my fingers into day --
like a honey drop
Tadeja Švigelj
Si že kdaj videl,
kako mavrica zaspi.
V hipu ali dveh.
Have you ever seen
how a rainbow falls asleep?
In an instant or two.
Koraki mimo
padajo v pozabo. Tu
sled stopinj na tleh.
Steps have sunk
into oblivion. Here are
the traces on the ground.
Plišasti medo
nikoli ne umre, a
izgubi srce.
A plush teddy bear
never dies but
he looses his heart.
Bilo je tukaj,
deset večnosti nazaj.
Bi ti prišel spet?
It was here,
ten ages ago.
Would you come again?
Prizes for the Best Haiku
1st Prize
Nuša Kamnik
Listje na mojem
pragu. Me je iskalo
zeleno drevo?
Leaves at my doorstep.
Has the green tree
been searching for me?
2nd Prize
Veronika Osterman
jezero modro
pod globino tišine
odseva nebo
blue lake --
deeply in silence
the sky reflects
3rd Prize
Daniel Milanovič
Posušen fikus
na oknu
ves žari.
a dry rubber plant
on the window sill
all is radiant
Prizes for the Best Love Haiku
Mateja Zaman
Pred trgovino
prvi poljub in
kup smeti.
in front of the shop
the first kiss and
a pile of garbage.
Marijana Smlatič
Prišel, odšel si.
Za teboj štejem
snežinke.
You've come and gone.
After you I count
the snowflakes.
Ksenija Kegl
Snežinke so posule
polja, moje srce in naju.
Počasi si me objel.
Snow has covered
fields, my heart and us.
Slowly you have embraced me.
The Best Themed Haiku: Nature
Luka Ausec
Črni vran poleti
mimo okna. Za trenutek
zakrije sonce.
A black raven
flies by the window. For a moment
covers the sun.
Vesna Tišler
Gola drevesa ter
tih šepet meglic - spev
novega jutra.
bare trees
and the whisper of haze --
a new morning song
Robi Gumpot
Stojiš v vetru,
veter ti mrši lase,
krošnja drevesa.
you stand in the wind,
the wind tosses your hair,
the treetop
Ana Tolar
pokvarjena pipa
voda kaplja
tekma z dežjem...
burst pipe
dripping water races
against the rain
The Best Themed Haiku: Concrete
& Asphalt
Aleksander Drobnič
Na prehodu za pešce
sladoledna kepica
in glasna sirena.
at a zebra crossing
an ice cream cone....
and a loud siren
Marko Orel
lepota narave -
na televiziji
dokumentarna oddaja
beauty of nature --
on the TV screen
a documentary show
The Best Themed Haiku: School
Tedeja Poderčnik
Gneča v razredu.
Preden zvonec zazvoni,
ptice vzletijo.
crowded classroom --
before the bell's ringing
birds fly.
Tina Predalič
Šolske počitnice
in daleč tam neznano
čaka poletje.
school stairs --
in the distance something unknown
waits for summer.
Adis Ljubijankič
Igram se
s svinčnikom:
šole ni.
I play
with my pencil --
no school lessons today
Jernej Pristov
Težko je sedeti,
če znaš hoditi
in v sanjah leteti.
it is hard to sit
if you can walk and fly
in your dreams
The Best Themed Haiku: Social-Critical
Boštjan Peterlin
Stolpnici se podreta.
Ptice letijo
v tople kraje.
towers crash
birds fly
to warm places
Aleš Pelko
Ulica decembra.
Pred menoj nekdo
pljune.
street in December --
in front of me
somebody spits
The Best Haiku with Humor
Mina Arko
s stare slike
ki obljubljena je tebi
smejim se sama sebi
from my old photo
which promised to you
I smile to myself
Lea Skok
Ob televiziji
je zadrega našla
pravo pot do besede.
while watching TV
the embarrassment
gets the right word in
