Haiku by Aljoša Vuković
artificial roses –
how many garden
saved
pumpkin –
travelling around the world
a little ant
nuclear war –
who will figure out
the unfinished graffiti
rubbish in the forest –
on a plastic bottle
an eco-message
French fries –
deep fryer ruins the smell
of grandma´s earth
picnic –
a child puts grass
on dad´s bald head
the globe –
in the Ludolphine number
my decimal too
global pollution –
one more picture book
about apples
poppy field –
oblivion covers
all my loves
earthquake –
Mr. Richter picks
our olives
