IRIS HAIKU MAGAZINE: Water for Life (UNESCO International Year of Water Co-operation, 2013) A LITTLE HAIKU CONTEST: Award Winning Haiku, Judge: Boris Nazansky

old lake –
I feel closeness 
to full moon

staro jezero –
osjećam bliskost
s punim mjesecom

Translated by Boris Nazansky

the heron waits 
till the sun hides behind 
the return journey
leaves me alone under 
the moonless sky 

*** *** *** ***
the grown-up tree
aspiring to bear fruits
in mid-way life
she wonders in her afternoon
diminishing of the brightness

*** *** *** ***
under sacred tree
the old woman laments
the new born
to continue frequenting 
another chapter of begging

*** *** *** ***
early dawn
with tender sunrays
I wish
light to reach the huts
of the slum-dwellers

The Garage, Not the Garden

early dawn

with tender sunrays

I wish

light to reach the huts

of the slum-dwellers

distant waves

the sound creates

my own ocean

ferner Wellenschlag

sein Geräusch

mein eigenes Meer

****   *****

open ground —

I sit alone as the moon

moves away

offene Ferne —

ich sitz allein da, während der Mond

weiterzieht

Haiku Sequence : Summer

billowing cloud--
summer rain makes 
a tentative halt

summer morning--

the old man gathers

early warmth

  

burning hot--
the village pond
with wrinkles

brief relief

a thin patch of 
summer grasses

Indian summer

passers-by gossip

under banyan tree
