Haiku by Liudmila Skrebneva
1
талая вода
в лесном овражке
запах прелых листьев
snow water
in forest ravine
bitter smell of leaves
2
доплыть бы
до места, где свет
белых кувшинок
if only I could swim
to a place with light
from water lilies
3
раскаты грома
облаивает облака
белый пудель
thunder roaring
white poodle barking
at the clouds
4
тихое озеро
спит в камышах
дедушкина лодка
peaceful lake
sleeping in reeds
grandpa’s boat
5
бабочка…
не помню, как оказалась
на другом берегу
butterfly…
how did I get
to the far shore
6
каштаны в цвету
щебечут ласточки
на родном языке
chestnut tree in bloom
swallows chattering
in my mother tongue
7
распахиваю дверь
дождь меня ждёт
в вишнёвом саду
door wide opened
rain is waiting for me
in the cherry orchard
8
продана дача
укрываю розы
напоследок
summer house sold
I cover roses with leaves
for the last time
9
под облаками
вдогонку за змеем
воздушный шарик
under the clouds
a kite chased
by an air balloon
10
сочная зелень
пасётся в одуванчиках
моя черепаха
lush pasture
grassing in the dandelions
my tortoise
