DARIYA BLAGOVESTOVA

 


Divine

 

God's mercy

the goat of the greedy

sees light

*

a test of faith

a snake coils herself

around the sheep in the barn

*

a dove in the sky

The Holy Scripture

begins to fly after the third instant

*

lily carries a cross

where did it swim to

the unblemished?

*

on the crown of thorns

a pair of butterflies

Christ closes his eyes

*

twelve vine sticks

the darkness shrinks

under the drops of wine

*

human arrogance

even the rains in the desert

kissed the icon

*

stairs to the sea

how many times

did you get off the ship?

*

scattered wheat

the moon mourns

the shells

*

unlit candles

whisper a prayer

God gathers the stars

*

sunset

the old shepherd buys

a golden ring

*

anchor over the rainbow

will she sink

the sins of the people?

*

The resurrection of Jesus

alpha and omega are looking

for themselves in God

*

The Tree of Life

the forbidden fruit

injures his trunk

*

Last Judgment

Archangel Michael fails

to clean the scales

*

mirror in

my Guardian Angel’s hands

I don't want to be scared

*

ibis on the shore

I wouldn't dare

to take a stone in my hand

*

under the shadow

of my untied shoes

an even number of flowers

*

six hundred sixty six

arrows pierce the heart

we await a prophecy

*

my brother's baptism

delusion is going around

three times around the church

*

fallen halo on the leaf

why even I

passed him?

 

 

DARIYA BLAGOVESTOVA

 

DARIYA BLAGOVESTOVA GEORGIEVA, or simply Dari, was born on November 12 and is currently 15 years old. She lives in the village of Opanets, Pleven district, Bulgaria. At the end of 2020, her talent was discovered by Mrs. Anelia Atanasova. Together with her, as well as with the support of "Dr. Peter Beron" Elementary School, Pleven, Dariya began to participate in literary competitions. This is the beginning of her appearances. Since the fall of 2021, she has been studying at the Professional High School for Tourism "Aleko Konstantinov" in the city of Pleven and she is already achieving her creative successes independently. However, this is not an obstacle to her development. On November 13th, the results of the First Bulgarian Contemporary (Gendai) Haiku Contest were published, in which, although she participated without high hopes, Dariya received the Prize for Haiku Series. These results motivate her to develop her abilities in different genres and poetic forms. Recently, she has been writing tanka-verses and she is hard at work on her own novel. Dariya is the winner of dozens of national and international literary awards. Among the most valuable for her are First Place in the Poetry section of The National Literary Contest "The Love in Us" - 2022 and Second Place in the Fifth International Haiku Contest dedicated to the poet Santoka. She draws inspiration from nature, human characters, life's difficulties. Among the most frequently touched themes in her works are love (in all her forms), time that flows regardless of everything and everyone, loneliness that is capable of imprisoning us in the depths of our own consciousness...
