Capotă Daniela Lăcrămioara

autumn wind-
in the park on the chess table
only chestnuts

family album-
journey
inside myself

Mihaela Cojocaru

evening -
extending the heat of the sunset
the ripe chestnuts

summer storm -
bend under sea spray
wild poppies


Gheorghe Mihalache

autumn leaves fall—
the shaken forest
a soft carpet

Radu Patrichi

In the evening
Great is a cool slice
Of watermelon

Steliana Cristina Voicu

making a snowman…
my lazy tomcat sleeping
beyond the window

Dan Iulian

back home -
in the grandmother's kitchen
all seasons

refugee camp -
a history book browsed
by the wind

Cezar Ciobika

journey's end
tumbleweeds stuck in
the barbed wire fence

my son’s dream
to become a sommelier
autumn sunset

Cezar Ciobica is ready to help his son become a licensed wine steward in Botosani, Romania.

ghosts ...
of the roses in bloom
nothing left


Following months of severe weather in Bucharest, Romania, there won’t be any winter roses for Ana Drobot to enjoy.

some wood chips
in the Johari window –
I light the fire

***

câteva așchii

în fereastra Johari –

aprind focul

2

long way backward –
at the end of the tunnel

benches without legs

***

drum lung înapoi –

la capătul tunelului

bănci fără picioare

3

excavators –
in front of their home
immovable old men

***

escavatoare –

neclintiți din poarta casei

niște bătrâni

Comment:

"Not many haiku submitted by Lavana, but they are more suggestive than before".
