Hello @owasco, this is Marco!
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.

Bananafish is a beautiful creature that, unfortunately, had to give way to the life of its creators.
@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.
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.

Heartfelt thanks, however, for this bittersweet lament. I often think of all of you. Have a nice life!
