Haiku and Haiga by Elena Asch
night blizzard
a thousand and one
poses under a blanket
winter moon
on a swing in the yard
untouched snow
time for dinner
the family has increased
by two snowmen
spring rain
through the first drops
rosehip is turning pink
the full moon
is full even
behind the clouds
the heron takes off…
not to make out the words
in the noise of the wind
tea on the veranda
silvery underside
narrow leaves
the fall of leaves
the dog ’s barking is
getting louder
late autumn
empty photo
frames
migratory …
among the leaves on the bench –
a feather
Comment by Elena Asch
For her, the Earth is both falling leaves, and thin ice on morning puddles, and the cries of returning cranes and the smell of mown grass.
