Only few tiny words...
though they can build together
the best haiku

tiny cherry blossoms -
I get farther away
from my home

COMMENTS:


in geriatrics
tiny stars dripping
from icicles
--Cezar Florescu

VOTES: 22**** SCORE: 06
COMMENTS: Poem 15 help us see a ray of hope and beauty in the geriatrics section. Just as in poem 8 I find it to suggest signs of human affection. The connection
with loved ones helps these old persons see the world in a better light, and to notice the beauty of life.

Carte de tanka, editată de Revue de tanka francophone

Rallumer des étoiles.
Un recueil de spiritualité et de symbolism.

Lavana Kray e prezentă în carte cu următoarele poeme tanka:

1
la tache de pluie
sur le mur de ma chambre
s'allonge -
je serre une feuille dans ma main,
en humant l'arôme de la mort
2
dans la boue vieux,
des oiseaux morts de froid
et les traces de mes pas...
la rue principale
est lavée au shampoing
3
le printemps
est perdu à la table
de négociations -
je ne suis pas sourde,
c'est la forêt qui est muette
4
ses pauvres
assis  dans la ligne
pour donner du sang;
l'odeur de vanille
à la pâtisserie
5
dans la vieille maison
rien de nouveau
sauf la poussière...
une fleur vénéneuse
nourrit la belle chenille

his vocabulary 
so poor

new year
without fireworks –
only full moon

A moment, the sea
takes the shape of your body,
carrying it off-shore

heavy snowflakes
each word of the refugee
melting something

first kiss
in the meadow of daffodils…
no one to count Lyrids
