Greetings, friends of @bananafish and participants of the contest in this new modality. Arriving a little late: the serious problems we are suffering in Venezuela, as you will know, has upset everything. I will make a very brief comment. My favorites are the @agmoore exercises and the first two participants: @lauril and @pokerm. My vote goes for the @pokerm exercise, which presents a peculiar syntactic structure (I was attracted by its use of questions) , for what is customary in haiku, and also expresses the features of time and, more, of a very interesting cosmic vision.
I put this in the wrong place. As they used to say in my Brooklyn neighborhood when I was growing up: "Oy vey!"
I'm voting for @amigoponc. A couple of reasons: The language is compelling. Every word carries weight and together they deliver a punch. But the most persuasive reason is the way she uses the haiku, and sunset, as representations of an apocalypse. Sunset marks the end of a single day for all of us. It's a kind of temporal apocalypse we experience together. @amigoponc reflects on the end of settled times in her country. What will tomorrow bring? What will sunrise reveal?
You see, this little haiku had a really big impact on me.
From dusk to dawn; from God and creation to the end of winter and the beginning of summer... This was the inspiration for all the English-speaking participants in this wonderful week before the image proposed for the Haiku.
We have read to new users who, in spite of being their first participation, have achieved very good contents.
I liked all the entries, but what caught my attention was @joeylim's, even though I don't support his theory of transforming the word "shimmering" by a supposed shimm'ring contraction. For the meaning, he wanted to give it and for looking for balance in the English metric I give him my vote.
@agmoore gets my vote.

Much appreciated @stever82. Don't you love writing these? No wonder the form has survived centuries and adapted to cultures.
