-beholden
[ENG] This week our Master Philosopher wrote not one, but four haikus inspired by Calluna's photo. If we add to this the fact that it has also written four more for our friend 
What struck me most was the first, and that's what I chose as the best haiku of the edition. That "beholden" that entirely occupies the part after the kireji hovers suspended for a long time, filling the reader with the same gratitude that the word evokes. The haiku is sober and elegant, without excessive verbal acrobatics that would constitute a note of demerit, and not of merit, for the aesthetic rules that govern this form of poetry.
[ES] Esta semana, nuestro Maestro Filósofo no escribió uno, sino cuatro haikus inspirados en la foto de Calluna. Si a esto le sumamos el hecho de que también ha escrito cuatro más para la competencia de nuestro amigo
Lo que más me sorprendió fue lo primero, y eso es lo que elegí como el mejor haiku de la edición. Ese "beholden" que ocupa por completo la parte después de que el kireji se mantiene suspendido durante mucho tiempo, llenando al lector con la misma gratitud que evoca la palabra. El haiku es sobrio y elegante, sin excesivas acrobacias verbales que constituirían una nota de demérito, y no de mérito, por las reglas estéticas que rigen esta forma de poesía.

[ENG] A painful note in this haiku, dictated by the contingent situation in a country that is very dear to us, Venezuela. Every week I am amazed by the determination and perseverance of the many Venezuelan friends who participate in the competition, trying to give us verses of lightness and serenity while living in a situation of enormous crisis. This week, 
[ES] Una nota dolorosa en este haiku, dictada por la situación contingente en un país que nos es muy querido, Venezuela. Cada semana me sorprende la determinación y la perseverancia de los muchos amigos venezolanos que participan en la competencia, tratando de darnos versos de ligereza y serenidad mientras viven en una situación de enorme crisis. Esta semana, el grito de dolor de @ amigoponc trajo algo de realidad, incluso si estaba transfigurado por el haiku. Los otros participantes han pensado correctamente en recompensarlo, en solidaridad con sus sentimientos.
