Haiku by Ljiljana Dobra
night silence
moon in the valley
jumps over the stream
from bitter coffee
your radiant look
revived me
loyalty of dogs
on the master’s grave
eternal guard
old temple
my memories go back
to great-grandma
frozen milk
the mother does not breastfeed the child
the camp is dead
a flock of geese
flies across the sea –
happy return!
frost on the glass
winter draws a fairy tale
about Snow White
old closet
full of dusty books
house for sale
a mark on the pillow
the smell of cut hay
my dawn
from the path
I remove a dead robin –
trampled song
