Failed haiku -- A Journal of English Senryu Volume 7, Issue 79

Linked Verse

In the park

a child

he sticks his lips together

of cotton candy

above the anthill

chesnut's tree shadow

saxophonist's song

leaves a scent

of ripe pears

hair down

of girls in bloom

hot asphalt

indigo drops

of the artesian well

an ant colony

it stuck

on cotton candy

1

întunecare -
mă închid în casă
cu un licurici

dim darkness -
I lock myself in the house
with a firefly

2

prea multe umbre…
până și moartea
face ochii mari

too many shadows …

even death, wide-eyed
with wonder

3

marea plecare –
scot gardul să fac loc
mărăcinilor

great departure –

I take out the fence
to release thistles

4

ecou întrerupt –
poate, totuși, moartea
nu-i decât un truc

cut-off echo –
perhaps death is nothing
but a magic trick

1 primul cânt de cuc - păpușă strigând ma-ma la un colț de drum first cuckoo call - all alone besides the road a doll spelling ma-ma 2 armistițiu - pe rana pământului floare de cireș ceasefire days - cherry blossom rain healing the wounds of the earth 3 lumea, încotro ? adevărul zace-n lan de răsărită world, where to? the truth lies hidden in Sunflower field 4 portretul mamei – s-a umezit cerneala în ochiul drept mother’s portrait – the ink in the right eye trickles down

5 ploaie măruntă – rană putrezind pe pat sub cerul liber drizzle – wound decaying on a bed under the open sky
