Contemporary Haibun 20 Anthology
Available to order through both Red Moon Press and Amazon.
Omnibus
I knock on our house door, but it's not my mother who opens. Seeing my doubt in front of the door, the wind smacks it against the wall. Something that looks like a being, a steamy silhouette wearing a long flowery printed dress, swirls around, engulfs
me, while its imprints fly all over the room. What a fresh plum blossom scent!
Suddenly, the wind calms down, the clouds wash out, and the ghost is gone, but all these white petals left on the floor are a sign that I'm not the only one coming home now and then...

Haiku Classic: March 2, 2025 -- Full circle - Mainichi Japan
a new sound
from an old instrument
spring thaw
-------------------------------------
Cezar-Florin Ciobica (1971- ). From "Frogpond", 37 (3), Autumn 2014, The Journal of the Haiku Society of America. Issue edited by Francine Banwarth and Michele Root-Bernstein.
The kigo "spring thaw" in this haiku matches perfectly with the first two lines. "A New Sound of an Old Instrument" is the title of the 1979 album by Moondog featuring music played on the Breil pipe organ. In the above haiku, "from" is used instead of "of," so we can conclude that it is not referring to a recording of the Moondog album being played as the snow and ice melts, but that the instrument actually exists in front of the poet. Furthermore, since "an" is used rather than "the," we can infer that the instrument does not belong to the poet but rather is being played by someone else. And since the actual kind of instrument is not concretely stated, we can infer that "old" refers not to the physical age of the actual instrument but rather that it is an old kind of instrument. Here we come full circle back to Moondog in imagining it might be a pipe organ. The spring thaw resonates not only with the new sound produced from an ossified preconception of the kind of music that instrument should play, but also shows that the poet's feelings themselves have been freed by the music.

haiku foundation kukai
februarie 2025 / theme - sky
Second Prize a whole life in a patch of sky bedridden — Mirela Brailean In the first two lines, we are invited to think of life in a big way, as big as the sky. But the poet keeps the scale of human life in perspective. It is “a whole life,” but seen in just a “patch of sky.” Still . . . there is something breathtaking in the gesture. The third line provides context, even as it offers multiple readings. There is great sadness in a life confined. Perhaps all that can be seen from the bed is a bit of sky through a window. But with those first two lines, it could also be read in an expansive way, as a life unfettered by earthbound limitations. A powerful and moving poem.

LOTHLORIEN POETRY JOURNAL, January 2025, Editor Strider Marcus Jones
Kira
A piece of heaven for tourists with its fauna and flora, the Danube Delta is tough on the locals living on a strip of land, as they are dependent on boats at all times. Many of them drifted away like floating reeds, but the elders remained. They are deeply rooted in the banks of the Danube. It’s a mild, autumn day, same as it was fifty years ago, when the cranes were leaving and the fisherman brought Kira by boat to be his bride.
He fares her back now; there is no graveyard here...
scythe on shoulder –
how beautifully grows the grass
in her eyes
Hidden paths
In the harsh light of noon, the woman’s hand over the eyes trembles like a broken wing She lowered the garden fence, so she can see as far as the horizon, where someone appears now and then, but never reaches her. As the sparrows are dozing off among blue morning glories, the silence seems too hard to be broken, but a ship’s horn sounds and some ray of hope is flitting across her blushing face. Time to pull off the weeds on the pathway home again...
two cups of tea –
coming at the right time
a cloud of rain
There comes a day that seems like the very last one, when you feel the urge to take the final steps, where you also took your first, so I take my backpack and head to the train station. Once arrived, I wend my way through the blue-eyed thistles (childhood friends). Everything is unchanged, only the forest looks like a defeated army. A motorbike raises a monster of dust who is about to engulf me, but rain drops collapse it. I finally can see my slumped shoulders house and a fluttering flowered dress.
homesickness –
greeting me with open arms

The Bamboo Hut - February 2025
Mona Iordan
fine morning
a lawn mower
silences the trees
withered leaf
free to fly
at last
sparrows
on the patchy snow
hopscotch
Mircea Moldovan & Mihaela Iacob
the noise of an ATV
breaks my thoughts
I put a bookmark
where I left off
and I'm waiting for it to rain
I hear a voice
'no one should
to be so lonely'...
the rain doesn't caress my face anymore
someone opened an umbrella
at a crossroads
a coin between heaven and earth
neither head nor tail...
I chose the road where after sunset
the shadow will leave me
the winding road
reaches a dead end
he has no more coin
and also remained without a shadow
so he better whistles
