Haiku by Barbara Anna Gaiardoni
incinerated by
a thunderbolt from heaven
lion dance
pilgrim of peace
an old woman living inside
the train station
homeless
with a checkered past
black friday
a kid listening
to a skylark
road barred
from the old book
a flower petal is falling
wild ducks in flight
collecting tadpoles
is my new obsession
war among the poor
lemon bread
on the Christmas table
the absence is filled
giant manatees
sunning on a big rock
fake-tan cream
a tangle of twisted film
like a kind of cloud
watermelon party
a sort of delirium
in the middle of summer
sudden letter
