silent pink dawn
the crab apple tree buds
burst
--Jacek Margolak; Poland
Votes:13**** Points:07
Comments:I'd generally advise against having a verb stand alone as line 3, but this time, coming after the rather crabbed (pun

intended) second line, it works.

Buds on the branches…
on my room a withered rose

orchard dawn
out of the twilight buds
birdsong
--Bouwe
Votes:4*2*** Points:10
Comments:I actually preferred #19 to a couple of these, but didn’t vote for it because “dawn” and “twilight” both were mentioned in the

same moment. If “twilight” had been eliminated, it would have been a strong haiku rather than a confusing one.

Rainless flood with nuclear rain…
Cherry blossoms bud.
