brass bell: a haiku journal

Bird Haiku

thunder —
dandelion fluff
among crows

hermitage's dome —
a pigeon listens
to the evening prayer

muddy stork after rain —
the garden gnome
so clean . . .

Din revista Ploc!, Nr. 53

http://www.100pour100haiku.fr/revue_ploc/ploc_revue_haiku_numero_53.pdf



volée d’alouettes -
les trilles d’azur
inondent l’aurore

zbor de ciocârlii –
trilurile din azur
inundă zorii

*

brise légère –
un pissenlit berce
le soleil du midi

o adiere –
păpădia leagănă
soarele-amiezii 

*

soleil derrière la colline -
minces lambeaux de brume
se perdent au couchant

soare după deal –
fâşii subţiri de ceaţă 
se pierd în apus

*

feu dans l'âtre -
dehors brumes épaisses
collées contre la vitre

focul în vatră –
afară ceaţa deasă
lipită de geam

*

sommet enneigé –
les yeux vers le couchant
un vieux solitaire

pisc înzăpezit –
cu ochii către apus
bătrânul singur

Virginia POPESCU



premier perce-neige
tête baissée –
le dernier gel

primul ghiocel
face o reverenţă –
ultimul îngheţ
