Original Poem 1: A beautiful woman dripping with water by your hand
　　　　Treat her as carefully as tofu, won't you?

You, polished and shining with good material,
Who will choose you, My Fair Lady?
Madoka Sasara

So as not to hurt delicate you,
I will gently wrap you in my large vessel.
Noncha

A smoothness and a sparkling beauty,
Someday I want to hug you tight, squish!
Shirokumakirin

Glamorous and a beautiful woman dripping with water,
That's you, Hydrangea
With Spring~🌸

A white, soft skin in the summer evening before my eyes,
To admire or to eat, I gently touch with my hand.
Miyu

When I pinned the colorless ornament in my hair
The time between you and me began to move
Noriko Tonomura

I thought 'gentle' was enough, but then
Your shy fingertips brushed against me
Tomone

You seem like you would break if I touched you
I want to protect you, so I will be gentle
Shien Satake

Be gentle, handle me softly, softly
I am more fragile than I look
Fu.

Because you were someone who wouldn't be dyed any color
You couldn't be contained within my hands
rira

That's unfair! If you say things like that to me
I'll fall for you all over again!
Misty

Now you have a wheat-colored tan like deep-fried tofu
You've become strong, and I love that about you too
Soup

Gently coating you in potato starch, like agedashi tofu
I will cherish you, thank you for the meal
Ricotto

A soy-sauce face suits glossy tofu
I won't accept a sauce-lover this summer
Haruka Yunagi

Your beauty and nobility that will not crumble
I will protect them, so show me your tears
Suko

At the call of the tofu seller visiting the town
I prick up my ears, listening with longing
Tsuru

A single bead of sweat flows down your supple back
My own flower blooms gently
Even so, ha ha ha

More fresh and delicate than tofu
I touch you, gently at first
Hanemiya Itoya

Self-praise that suits you, so mannish
I bought a beach umbrella for you
Temari

Original Poem 2: I fell in love as if struck by lightning
Like a short-short story

I had a dream, I wanted to be with you more
The aftermath of love remaining in the ruins
Sasara Madoka

Star short, drawn into a mysterious world
I wonder if I can read the rest on the web
Noncha

I was waiting, the shock of finally meeting you
The day it began was a Chopin melody
Shirokuma Kirin

I fell in love as if struck by lightning
Truth is stranger than fiction
With Spring~ 🌸

Was that summer love a reality?
Sending my thoughts away, I hear thunder
Miyu

Sadness, pain, heartache, everything
It was you who wrapped it all up for me
Tonomura Noriko

Struck by lightning at first sight, Raiden
A short story, still just a prologue
Tomone

Who could have predicted this ending?
A gravitational pull like a black hole
Shien Satake

Will this love that fell in an instant
end with a happy ending?
Phew.

Taking shelter from the rain suddenly like in a novel
A prelude to love starting with you
rira

Even if darkness comes from a lightning short circuit
This plot is a happy ending
Misty

Yearning for light in the darkness, then torn apart again
A love that burned out dramatically
Soup

A love that passed like a squall in a clear sky
I was dumped and left behind
Ricotto

Short and hurried in its introduction, development, twist, and conclusion
The days of first love between you and me
Haruka Yunagi

Love at first sight with you at the speed of lightning
Let's fall into a love that needs no punchline
Suko

Cannot even finish reading the heart-pounding short-short
This dazzling light must be love
Tsuru

Summer love always rushing by
Traces of words like a haiku
Koredemo Hahaha

My heart was pierced by you in an instant
The short-short is still on the first line
Itoya Hanemiya

A short-short story might be the spark,
but for us, it's a full-length novel after all.
Temari

Waiting for the one who will not return, on Cherry Blossom Day,
as the night deepens from rain to stars.
Sen-sing

Did I short-circuit my head or my heart while taking shelter from the rain?
I am simply captivated by you.
Kaetama
