Shirokuma Cup Tanka Division | Unauthorized Awards (Unauthorized Responses)

Shirokuma Cup Tanka Division "Unauthorized Awards".

Following the haiku section, I thought about giving "Unauthorized Awards!", but I decided to make them "Unauthorized Responses" instead of "Awards".

Watching it turn into a snowy landscape with magic powder
Everything I see becomes fairytale-like

😎Response

Beside me
Patting on foundation
You applying it
Is just as lovely
As the snowy makeup

Taking off one glove to hold hands
Time traveling to the next season

😎Response

In the snow
The hand I held of yours
I will keep holding
Even under the cherry blossoms
Forevermore

Oh snow dancing as I stand alone on the street corner
My hand still remembers the love I had for you

😎Response

In that town
The person I parted with
The powder snow today
Makes me remember
That person

Vacant houses increasing in my hometown
Winter sunset
Staring at tomorrow alone on the private road

😎Response

Back in my hometown
Seeing the neighbor's house
With no master there
I miss the sound of that old man's voice
And his cough

The fingers we intertwined saying it's cold, one day
Your warmth no longer reaches me

😎Response

Forever
Without ceasing
I will keep warm
The palm of your hand
From that winter day

I have no words to reply to the child who calls it bad taste
The figure of the Namahage on the other side of the screen

😎Response

It's not like
I want to do this
But this too is tradition
Connecting to the future

The Tadami Line traveling through the snowy valley
Tipsily traveling the restored path

😎Response Tanka

Tadami Line
Between you and me
Connecting our love
You in Aizu
And me in Chuetsu
