un fel de ceață
ce nu se disipează -
cuget confuz

a kind of fog 
that never lifts -
fuzzy intellect

așa cum am venit,
cu mintea goală

back to the sky
empty-minded,
as I came

peninsulă uscată -
flori virtuale

drying peninsula -
virtual flowers

purtată de vânt
o sămânță de vorbă -
nu ară nimeni

carried by the wind
a seed of talk -
no one plows anymore

voal de cenușă
pe crizanteme albe -
bătrân cu foarfecă

veil of ash

cruci din plastic
prin cimitire

forest dying out -
plastic crosses

THE PLUM TREE TAVERN

 Haibun


Heatwave

by Lavana Kray

City suffocated by heatwaves and face masks. Early in the morning, already on the road to the mountain, we get stuck in a traffic jam that pushed drivers out of their cars, yelling by the roadside. A few cyclists overtake us, some slow-moving sheep pass us by, while a cloud grows crane wings. I close my eyes and turn ambient music with rain sounds on, leaving my thoughts to wander barefoot in a glade of wild mint, birds, butterflies and ozone.

village on fire –
two storks chop up
the sky

Drifting Sands Haibun, a Journal of Haibun and Tanka Prose

 Editor:  Keith Polette

 Childhood

In this featureless landscape, with sands cornering in, not even a stork would make life meaningful. Stifling day, wilted grass, empty well . . . Dust clouds swallow  rain clouds, but the eyes have become accustomed to the sand kites. A small, barefoot shadow makes her daily way to the old flowering acacia tree at the edge of the village, where the townsmen drop their rubbish. Her stroll is not a waste of time. Sometimes, under that tree, toys grow.

childhood —
two mismatched buttons
some doll’s eyes

LOTHLORIEN POETRY JOURNAL VOLUME 26

 Honeycomb – Flash Fiction/Haibun

                              



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... 


honeycomb – 

a butterfly alights 

on the sweet knife




Five Photo Poems – (words only)    


air raid - 

hot bread breeze

from across the border 


mother’s ground - 

the wind wears 

a crown of chrysanthemums

hay bed - 

La vie en rose 

on the radio 


shed snake skin 

on the path - 

face lifting day 


WWW blocked - 

I walk along the path 

of other creatures
