I've won two Honourable Mentions on the Omentielva Lempea Elvish Haiku Contest !

Nu elin luin
Laiss i mrethil thiliar
Uial dolog!
Under the blue stars
Beechen leaves are glistening.
Trusty twilight!

Or chaw amon
i chwest laich matha thîr nîn.
Udulen — na vedui.
On the hilltop
the sweet breeze touches my face
I have returned — at last.
They asked the submissions to not be based on the Legendarium. Mine were based on imaginal impressions / meditation experiences, so I was in doubt for a bit.

Re: Haiku contest
Coming here and reading these again has renewed the happiness I felt when I first read them, Melleth.
AS with all Haiku, the imagery is both simple and straightforward, and yet these summon a very clear and vast visual of what you've described.
Very beautiful work, and congratulations of the honorable mentions.
