World Haiku Series 2019 (189)

Haiku by Vilma Knezevic 

 

haiku gathering

remembering

those handshakes 

 

俳句会

思い出す

あの握手を

 

every morning

the dew puts on 

its earthy shoes 

 

毎朝

露がはく

その土の靴を

 

from the field

harvested crops

resting soil

 

畑から

収穫された作物

土を休ませる

 

a beach for house pets 

everybody watching a dog 

with sunglasses

 

ペット用のビーチ

誰もが犬を見ている

サングラスで

 

a rooster

hoarse and thirsty

from crowing 

 

オンドリ

声がしわがれのどが乾く

鳴き声で

 

a mutated toad

wondering frogs

and people

 

突然変異したヒキガエル

不思議に思うカエル

そして人々

 

a playful river 

the water murmurs 

in its skirts 

 

遊び心のある川

水がつぶやく

そのふちで

 

a stream

hopping over the stones 

losing its strength

 

小川

石を飛び越え

力を失う

 

on old town

the seagulls calm down 

on the sidewalks

 

旧市街

カモメが静まる

歩道で

 

the fiddle bow

in the hand of a little girl

playing for the tourists 

 

バイオリンの弓

小さな女の子の手に

観光客のために弾く

 

–Translated by Hidenori Hiruta

 

 

A Message from Vilma Knezevic

Hello Japan!

I wish you all peace and dignity!

I’ve been writing Haiku since 2010.

I just adore nature and the happenings in it.

 -My first collection of HAIKU “WITHIN THE SILENCE” 2010. Rijeka, Croatia

– My second Haiku collection “THE CHERRY THIEVES” 2017. Rijeka, Croatia.

– I live in the spirit of the nature of this planet.

– I am 65 years old, retired alone, 6 grandchildren, and a lifetime ahead.

– I write every day and live with HAIKU

 

OVER THE BRIDGE

WITH STEPS

HAIKU COMES

 

BEST REGARDS

Vilma !
