💐 [Lilac Cup] Unofficial Sorano Ao Award 💐 (Tanka)

2023年5月12日 23:42

I couldn't find as much time as I wanted in April, and I was barely able to just submit my work. 😥
During the last Polar Bear Cup, I thought I'd like to give out an unofficial award next time, so I'm writing this article to make sure I do just that! ✨

I selected these from the list of Tanka articles without knowing who the authors were!

As someone who writes Tanka in my own self-taught way, I can't really write critiques, but I have added my thoughts with the feeling of, 'I love this part of this poem!' (*´▽`*)❀

💐 Unofficial Sorano Ao Award 🏅

(In numerical order)

32. A butterfly floats in the gaps of spring light, and I can hear a sound that does not become the wind.

The sense of the words 'a butterfly floats' and 'a sound that does not become the wind' is wonderful. 💖

❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁

38. Finding a yellow spring flower on the roadside, you smile and say 'tanpoko'—may happiness be with you.

I was warmed by the cute mispronunciation that only a child could make. 💖

❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁

131. I love you I love you I believe in you, on a night of spring thunder where jealousy stirs.

It's innovative that the entire first half is written in hiragana!
It seems to express the instability of the heart, and it's profound. 💖

❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁

144. Wider than the blue of sadness, deeper than the black of loneliness, the cherry blossoms scatter.

The contrast is so beautiful and wonderful💖

❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁

160. To you. On a spring day when my writing hand stops, I place a single fallen petal

The short first line feels like it captures the moment when my writing hand stops, which is very impressive💖

❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁

225. Spring, the twilight slope leading to the sea, turning into the courage to live here and now

I felt that the gentle scenery of spring was softly pushing me forward💖

❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁

244. Once I hold the wings named graduation, I realize the sky is this blue

I was moved by the way you could express the refreshing feeling of flying out from the small world of school in this way💖

❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁

323. A flower that falls when it is time to fall is truly beautiful; I am glad I was able to stop loving you

The way the second half of the poem decisively states the emotion is very striking💖

❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁

351. Quietly closing its flowers and enduring, on a chilly spring day without you

The beautiful expression in the first half of the poem, which is not overshadowed by the word "spring chill," is wonderful. 💖

❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁

380.　Listen, teens, the songs you hear now make you who you are; come on, let's meet new songs.

I, too, am still encouraged by the songs I encountered in my teens.
The powerful way you sing is wonderful. 💖

❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁.｡.:*:.｡.✽.｡.:*:.｡.❁

389. A feather as light as a dandelion seed; if I'm hiding, I want to set off on a journey.

It's cute and fantastical, and I felt the warmth of spring. 💖

Thank you for letting me encounter so many wonderful tanka! ☺️💕
