Haiku by Maria Concetta Conti

summer solitude
telling stories
in different ways

solitudine estiva
raccontare storie
in diversi modi

Stardust- August 2022

morning sky

how would you look

if you were a cloud

cielo mattutino 

che aspetto avresti 

se tu fossi una nuvola

Haikuniverse- August 2nd 2022

organizzando un funerale
l’albero pieno
di boccioli di ciliegio

arranging a burial
the tree full
of cherry buds

my father’s grave
an anemone blooming
in the shade

la tomba di mio padre
un anemone fiorisce
nell’ombra

on the highway
with me and you
the Spring sunset

in autostrada
con me e te
il tramonto di primavera

Autumn Moon Haiku Journal Spring 2022

waiting in hospital
the long concert
of a goldfinch

attesa in ospedale
il lungo concerto
di un cardellino

Underthebasho Journal 2022

vento di aprile
il vuoto
del mio respiro

april wind
the emptiness
of my breath

Stardust May 2022

cancer diagnosis 

how many drops 

around me 

Scarlet Dragonfly Journal May 2022

tempesta improvvisa
trovare Dio
in una pozzanghera

sudden storm
finding God
in a puddle

Stardust February 2022

year’s end
people who are no longer
with me

fine dell’anno
le persone che non sono 

più con me
