Please accept this 💐 Unsolicited Soup Award [Haiku] Part 2
Hello ^-^
An unsolicited award that makes me happy to receive 😊
Following the unsolicited Soup Award Part 1, I would like to announce Part 2.
(The explanation from here on is almost the same as the Part 1 article (^-^;)
Many works were submitted to the Lilac Cup.
To everyone who participated, thank you very much for letting me read your wonderful works.
Also, I had a lot of fun connecting with various people through likes, comments, Lilac-pon, and so on.
And, the Min-Hai tradition, the "Unsolicited Award" ✨
Wonderful awards from various people have also been given to the works of the Lilac Cup (^O^)♪
Since I was happy to receive one, I will do it too.
Following the unsolicited Soup Award Part 1, I am announcing Part 2!
The criteria were decided by my intuition of "Likes 💜" (that's old-fashioned, isn't it? 💦).
(I intended it to be a lilac-colored heart mark.)
I will tweet about the excitement and fantasies I had when I encountered your haiku, without any logic.
It is not formal language, but I have included my respect.
The interpretation is, of course, my own. So, please let me know in the comments if I got it wrong!
Actually, when I opened the lid, it was all people I had interacted with before or people who had won wonderful awards, so I thought, what's the point of Soup giving an award...
But I still want to say I like what I like!
Thinking that way, I am releasing Part 2.
💜 Super speed dragon climbs to heaven and engages in battle
A work by Seven Sword-kun.
The scale and sense of speed are irresistible. Games and haiku, nice!
It was thrilling that an elementary school student mastered this seasonal word. I was also happy that you passed the preliminaries~♪ I pressed like ♡
💜 Flower chill, forgetting things and just standing still
A work by Tsuru-san.
It goes without saying... but. The flow of time there seemed to slow down, as if it had stepped out of space-time. There is nothing special, but it seems like a precious moment where you might be able to suddenly take out something important, not empty.
💜 A boy pedals hard, spring gale
💜 Where shall I go all alone, skylark rising
A work by Ricot-san.
I like both because they have a sense of running.
The slightly cold wind hitting the cheeks seems pleasant.
I like that you are alone, and that you don't lament it. I admire that dignified stance.I'm sure there was hesitation, but it feels refreshing, as if you are looking at the "me that is like me" beyond that.
💜 The hunched back of the bicycle bends, spring sunset
A work by Chizu-san.
The detail of "hunched back bending" is amazing. It's mysterious that I imagine a slender young man even though it's not written anywhere. Moreover, the repetitive movement is played back as a video in my head. The direct physical sensation that leads to "rolling on the tongue" in the grand prize-winning haiku appeals to me.
In contrast, the large spring sunset is full of hope and is effective.
💜 Still hiding the transformation, hazy moon
A work by Asuka Maekawa-san.
I want to compose a haiku about a hazy moon. Because it's mysterious.
I feel this haiku is a cut above the rest.
It's innovative that it's "before" the transformation. It's not that a transformed werewolf or something is hiding, but you don't even tell me what it will transform into, and you're hiding the fact that it can transform...
It's hiding quite a lot. Power unknown, immeasurable.
💜 My title is stubbornly farmer, mountains laughing
A work by Ayuta-san.
I knew it was your haiku before I saw the name.
That is how much you express "the me that is like me."
There must be both joy and hardship in continuing the life of farming, but
I want you to remain stubborn. As long as the mountains are there.
💜 The memorial stone has faded, Golden Week
A work by Umi no Chie-san.
A tough person whose all 3 haiku for the Lilac Cup passed the preliminaries.
Is there anyone else? Raise your hand~
Not trying to show off things like this is also
part of Chie-san's charm. I wrote it, sorry.
About the haiku.
When you live in Japan and assume it's peaceful,
information becomes biased and memories weather away. The same goes for me.
But Chie-san keeps composing.
Thinking of the weak people whose lives tomorrow are uncertain.
Keeping the tragic memories that are about to weather away.
It makes me realize that I should take it as my own matter.
💜 Qingming, husband cutting the finish tape
A work by Yokogao-san.
I thought, this is "Qingming." A running competition on a sunny day with good weather seems very pleasant. The wind, the sunlight, and even the sweat. And cutting the finish tape means you won! It's a level where you can get drunk without beer.
Furthermore, the wife's support on the roadside. The wife is also overjoyed.
A day of The Qingming where you can feel good "energy."
To all the winners,
congratulations🎊
I immersed myself freely in the world of your haiku.
Thank you so much for your wonderful works.
Please accept this certificate as well, if you would like. Here you go.

Please accept the supplementary prize as well.
