the starlit sky

in my garden

crescent moon 
the old man returns 
from nowhere

mlad mesec
starac se vraća
niotkuda

Comment by Robert D Wilson

Where is nowhere? Is the crescent moon a portal from oblivion to this earth? What is the correlation between the crescent moon and the old man? Layered, this poem can be metaphoric, and yet . . . This is a thinking person's haiku. It doesn't bore readers by telling all. It is our job as readers to interpret this activity-biased haiku. Perhaps an old man is stepping out of darkness into a patch of light painting by this sparse, thin moon.


Gde je nigde? Da li su mesečev srp vrata koja vode od zaborava do ove zemlje? Kakva je veza između mesečevog srpa i starca? Višeslojna, ova pesma može biti metaforična, a ipak… Ovo je haiku koji je napisala osoba koja zna da razmišlja. Ne zamara čitaoce otkrivajući im sve. Naš posao kao čitalaca je da protumačimo ovaj haiku zasnovan na radnji. Možda se starac pojavljuje iz mraka na pramen svetlosti koju je oslikao ovaj bled, tanušan mesec.

One Man's Maple Moon

shadows drift
under the setting sun
the life
of a beggar mingles
with the darkness

夕陽下
陰影在漂移
一個乞丐的生活
與黑暗
交融在一起

sad news--

I miss the colors

of a rainbow

*****

tribal dance--

the moon steps with

everyone

******

sound of a beetle

the window filters

its anxiety

*****

displaced people

the falling leaves

trapped in a storm
