The Bananafish community is always here to act as a container for all the artistic, literary, photographic and creative posts of its members. Posts published there will always receive curation, as has been the case so far.Hello @owasco, this is Marco!
Bananafish is a beautiful creature that, unfortunately, had to give way to the life of its creators.
Add to this that I'm working on a role-playing publishing project that is consuming me to the last drop of energy in my spare time... I may be back to post something in the next few months, but I'd also like to go back to using the my mother tongue, Italian. I'm very undecided on this.
@f3nix is totally into his work and his family, and after 60 editions of Mizu No Oto, I feel like I have nothing to add on the topic of haiku. I have a lot to study, indeed, because my dabbling in this art cannot keep up with its profound knowledge, and I no longer feel capable of judging other people's compositions. It had become a forced thing for me lately, but I couldn't reward all the participants.
Heartfelt thanks, however, for this bittersweet lament. I often think of all of you. Have a nice life!
Marco! All good things then. Lovely. Thanks for letting me know.
You've made me want to return to an old (brief) love of mine, Italian. I once had a part in a play in which I spoke only Italian. I spent two months learning as much Italian and developing a good accent as I could, just to audition for the part. Then I continued to learn until the curtain fell. I loved it. Very expressive language. Yummy for haiku I should think.
Good luck with your endeavors, and I look forward to your return.
I often thought of you and this lovely times before the years of crisis. So sad, that the lightness of many things have disappeared. I am glad to hear that you are busy and I totally can understand that this time consuming part of yours had to come to an end. Except, you would have been able to integrate it into your economy. But then, things often change, not for the better.
Hope, you receive this comment of mine. I wish you all the best and will keep the memories with you and the bananafishes tight.
Yours E.
