Haiku by Margherita Petriccione
Christmas carols –
increasingly gloomy
the peddler’s cough
Canti di Natale –
la tosse dell’ambulante
sempre più cupa
クリスマスキャロル
ますます憂うつ
行商人の咳
the baby runs
ahead of her granny-
winter dusk
il bambino corre
davanti a sua nonna-
crepuscolo invernale
赤ちゃんが走る
おばあちゃんより先に
冬の夕暮れ
Christmas …
a stack of fridge containers
in the sink
Natale …
una pila di contenitori frigo
nel lavandino
クリスマス
冷蔵庫用コンテナの積み重ね
シンクに
Kontinuum: kortárs haiku_contemporary haiku, 1. évf. 2. sz. / vol. 1, no. 2
ultima foglia…
il peso della nebbia
la fa cadere
最後の葉
霧の重さ
落ちてしまう
Honorable Mention

serac …
a little less strength
every day
seracco…
un po’ meno forza
ogni giorno
セラック
強度が少しずつなくなる
毎日

the little wings
of a purple bumblebee-
dry garden
le piccole ali
di un calabrone viola –
giardino secco
紫色のマルハナバチの小さな翼
ドライガーデン
hair cut –
so invisible the paths
of the waiver
taglio di capelli –
così invisibili i sentieri
della rinuncia
ヘアカット
ウエイバーの道はとても見えない
last flights …
someone else is waiting
for the swallows
ultimi voli…
qualcun altro in attesa
delle rondini
最後のフライト
他の誰かが待っている
ツバメを
still vaccines …
preparing a list
of places to visit
ancora vaccini…
preparazione di un elenco
di luoghi da visitare
まだワクチン
訪れるべき場所のリストを準備
WHR Winter 2021/22
gravestones –
looks that seem to know
something more
lapidi –
occhi che sembrano sapere
qualcosa di più
墓石 –
もっと何かを知っていそうな表情
