Haiku by Margherita Petriccione

Christmas carols –
increasingly gloomy
the peddler’s cough

Canti di Natale –
la tosse dell’ambulante
sempre più cupa


the baby runs
ahead of her granny-
winter dusk

il bambino corre
davanti a sua nonna-
crepuscolo invernale


Christmas …
a stack of fridge containers
in the sink

Natale …
una pila di contenitori frigo
nel lavandino

Kontinuum: kortárs haiku_contemporary haiku, 1. évf. 2. sz. / vol. 1, no. 2

ultima foglia…
il peso della nebbia
la fa cadere

Honorable Mention
76th Basho Memorial English Haiku Contest.
  

serac …
a little less strength
every day

seracco…
un po’ meno forza
ogni giorno

Failed haiku
sept. 2022

 

the little wings
of a purple bumblebee-
dry garden

le piccole ali
di un calabrone viola –
giardino secco


hair cut –
so invisible the paths
of the waiver

taglio di capelli –
così invisibili i sentieri
della rinuncia

last flights …
someone else is waiting
for the swallows

ultimi voli…
qualcun altro in attesa
delle rondini

 

still vaccines …
preparing a list
of places to visit


ancora vaccini…
preparazione di un elenco
di luoghi da visitare

WHR Winter 2021/22


gravestones –
looks that seem to know
something more

lapidi –
occhi che sembrano sapere
qualcosa di più
