Polar Bear Cup 🐻‍❄️ Unofficial Kirari Award [Tanka] Shi

Congratulations on winning the Mother Kirari Award💖

Here is the certificate I would like to send to everyone (*'ω'*)
I made it in postcard size👍
Please feel free to take it home (*- -)(*_ _) bow

The number of entries in the Tanka category exceeded the previous one.
To both the newcomers and the regulars,
thank you for participating💖

Thank you, rira-san, for creating the list💖

The voices of people in our memories are always warm,
and I feel they warm our hearts and give us courage (^^♪
Thank you for your gentle poem (*- -)(*_ _) bow

All three poems had an image where the world quietly expands from the words.
In particular, the contrast between 'clear and beautiful' and 'as far as the trash area' in this poem was impressive and captured my heart.

A poem that makes even me, the reader, feel a flutter.
It takes courage to convey your feelings, and it makes your heart tremble, doesn't it (^^♪
Even with my 'Mom brain,' it made my heart skip a beat💕 ( *´艸｀)

All three poems were tearful poems filled with deep emotion.
Crying doesn't change anything, but by crying, your heart can settle or be released.
Please cry when you want to cry 😢

I was glued to these heartwarming tanka.
The nostalgia and the poems that make you smile involuntarily are wonderful ( *´艸｀)
Hehe, I could picture the adorable scene and it made me smile ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ

Out of the three poems about love, the scene in this one is so cute and heartwarming.
While thinking, 'Don't slip and fall!',
I felt like I wanted to wait for him to come running with a smile ( *´艸｀)

You beautifully composed three different scenes, it was masterful.
Among them, this poem conveys such a grand image,
it made me want to look up at the winter sky (^^♪

So it's Naeko-san who writes such poignant poems... (^^♪ I see!
I'm enchanted by the beauty of the words, and the scenes come to mind like a movie.
You are skilled not only at tanka and haiku, but also at novels, songs, and creating images, and your cute essays are wonderful and charming 💖 I'm falling for your thoughtful comments too (≧▽≦)

This is a wonderful poem that evokes nostalgia (^^♪
I remember once when I was little, I insisted on joining the fire patrol.
Clacking the wooden clappers together made my hands tingle, it was so much fun.

There are such distinct characteristics in how the words are chosen and arranged, and the imagery that comes to mind is so unique and skillful. Oh, Mitei-san. I see ( *´艸｀)
Hehe, it's nice how 'certainly' appears twice👍

I knew immediately whose poem 74 was. Hehe ( *´艸｀)
The lower seven-seven of 72 is nice❣
'Surpass the record, surpass yourself' is powerful and coolヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ

Since I grew up in snow country, I thought 'I get it' for all three poems.
And poem 69 even made my heart race💦💦
I've also messed up on a winter highway before💦 My liver went cold ( ；∀；)

Is the supple core of strength and brightness I feel from these three poems a reflection of your personality?
Reading them, my heart warmed up before I knew it, and they were poems that cheered me up.
Thank you for sharing such wonderful works❣

I couldn't help but smile at such an adorable scene💖
Okan had times like that too, probably, surely, without a doubt❣
I have a habit of walking half a step behind his left side, but in winter, I like having him next to me because it's warm ( *´艸｀)

Wow, it's like the opening scene of a movie.
Your lovely children are waiting for you in a warm home.
Thinking of that makes me feel so affectionate and want to see them💖

I read this while nodding, saying, "Yeah, yeah, that's right."
My whole family are static electricity holders (what a way to put it!), so we often get zapped and it hurts😢 The expression is cute and nice👍

A poem that feels like wordplay,
and also like a gentle encouragement.
It's very Hayashippu-chan-like👍

Ebi-chan, a presence that just makes me happy that you're alive.
Mom was about to melt at how cute this tanka is (≧▽≦)
Ebi-chan, I'm always watching over you (I'm not a stalker, really🤣)

All three poems were wonderful, and this one in particular was so cute that it captured my heart.
Yeah, yeah, I want the person who doesn't come to become someone who does.
The magic words were perfect for that painful feeling of wanting to see someone ( *´艸｀)

If you are looked at by a cat's sparkling eyes,
the correct answer is to welcome them into the kotatsu❣
It's truly adorable, and their carefree nature is lovely ( *´艸｀)

Among the three poems that make my heart flutter, this one really draws me in.
The fact that you don't say "Why didn't you buy me earrings!" is so you, Kuuya-san. It's lovely and heartwarming ( *´艸｀)

A, a genius has appeared❣
I've never seen such a hilarious tanka (≧▽≦)
If I was going to get cash back, I should have bought something more expensive ＿|￣|○、、、(≧▽≦)

This poem captures the sorrow of war in thirty-one syllables.
Innocent children, on a holy night they should have spent celebrating with their families.
My heart aches for the great sin committed by the adults.

What a cute request💕
In the cold that makes you want to hibernate,
such a cute invitation will surely come true ( *´艸｀)

Ugh, the sight of two people thinking of each other even while apart is so touching.
If you are both looking at the same Orion,
you can overcome it, it'll be okay❣

The "fear of ghosts" part is so cute and heartwarming (*´▽｀*)
The gap with the beauty of the first half is wonderful👍
It made me want to gaze at the stars in the cold sky all by myself🎵

All three poems were so fun that I couldn't help but chuckle,
but especially this thirty-one syllable poem ending with that line is wonderful ( *´艸｀)
"If you say so, then that star must be the Pleiades" probably, surely🎶

All three poems about doing your best while almost losing to the winter cold were cute.
Among them, I like the "determined not to lose" part of this poem ( *´艸｀)
Yes, yes, let's go out without losing to the cold❣

A heart-tugging poem. It's wonderful❣
And that scene vividly comes to mind.
It made me want to say, it's okay to complain a little, Mom will listen ( *´艸｀)

I felt a sense of playfulness, a heart-fluttering feeling💕, and strength in these three poems, and I was deeply moved.
I am always drawn to Haru-san's poems.
Thank you for this poem, in which I feel both strength and conviction❣

Since I grew up in snow country, I read this thinking, "I totally get it!" (*'ω'*)
It's shocking to have a 1m world the next day, isn't it?💦
My mother told me that when she was a child, they used to go in and out from the second floor!Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！

I guessed that this must be the work of someone very accustomed to both Tanka and Haiku!
KOMA-san! That makes sense❣❣( *´艸｀) The part where the little birds appear is lovely🎵
Thank you for always fortune-telling before the tournament(*- -)(*_ _)bow
　👈 Not the place to say this, but🤣

It made me smile to think that someone feels that way( *´艸｀)
When I read Nagatsuki-san's Tanka aloud,
the tempo is good and it slips right into my heart👍

The other two poems were also wonderful, making me feel heart-fluttering cuteness💕 or the sadness of saying goodbye.
The impact of "A night of crunching diamonds" was so great that it stayed in my heart the most( *´艸｀) It's lovely🎵

I laughed at Tsuru-sensei's rhythmic storytelling and the cute content.
I want Santa, who works on cold nights, to warm up nice and cozy ( *´艸｀) How cute.

The gap between the first and second half is cute, isn't it? 👍
I enjoyed it as a wonderful, warm story.
Coming home safely is the thing that makes me happiest, isn't it? ( *´艸｀)

A poem that makes you feel a pain that takes your breath away for a moment.
I like the flow where the pain of the person you waited for never coming
leads into 'turned into permanent snow' (^^♪
