dans la ruelle bouchée-
ma lampe de poche

United Haiku and Tanka Society. January 2015 Cattails edition.Haiku,Senryu and Haiga



Lavana Kray 
e prezentă în acest număr
cu 1 haiku , 1 senryu și 2 haiga:

paper boats
along the levee—
new diary



bărci de hârtie
de-a lungul pontonului—
nou jurnal intim

x

your portrait
fell off the wall rearranging
layers of dust



portretul tău
căzut din cui reface
straturi vechi de praf









My Editor's Choice haiga in this cattails edition 
is by Lavana Kray from Romania. 
An eloquently quiet piece where the artwork 
is not a direct match to the picture, but enhances it. 
The starkness of Lavana's art itself combined with 
the starkness of black and white is very striking.
