Haiku


Unnerving
Writing down a dream
Like catching mist
......................


Try catch, a moon ray
When it carves a name on bark
It might be yours
.............

Tanka

Melancholic moon
Sun’s modest little sister
Only shines at night
Because she’s beautiful
And her brother is envious

.............

Tanka


The red plastic rose
In my bleak winter garden
Looked dramatic
Until spring came muscling in
And cruel sun melted it

,,,,,,,,

Tanka

Sun argued with moon
He wanted to shine at night
Singed her cute nose
She, so much wiser, gave in
And night was made into day

,,,,,,,,,,,,

Tanka


Wellspring, Kosovo
Bodies and poisoned water
Ancient hatred
Inhales dust of history
A cancer on peoples’ soul
