Haiku by Maria Teresa Piras
poppies –
nothing else to learn
papaveri –
niente altro da imparare
ポピー
他に学ぶことは何もない
(HAIKU DIALOGUE – THE HAIKU FOUNDATION NOVEMBER 23, 2022)
snowflakes – all shades of silence
fiocchi di neve –
tutte le sfumature
del silenzio
雪片 静寂のすべての色合い
(UNDER THE BASHŌ NOVEMBER 18, 2022)
an autumn leaf in silence crosses my silence
una foglia d’autunno in silenzio attraversa il mio silenzio
沈黙の紅葉が私の沈黙を横切る
(UNDER THE BASHŌ NOVEMBER 18, 2022)
hedge roses– the perfume of my childhood in the breeze
rose di siepe –
nella brezza il profumo
della mia infanzia
生け垣のバラ そよ風に吹かれて過ごした子供の頃の香り
(ESUJ-H JULY, 2022)
light of fireflies —
I’m in no hurry to arrive
nowhere
luce di lucciole –
non ho fretta di arrivare
da nessuna parte
ホタルの光
急いで到着するところはありません
どこにも
(SCARLET DRAGONFLY JOURNAL OCTOBER 16, 2022)
autumn wind
in every season
autumn wind
vento d’autunno
in ogni stagione
vento d’autunno
秋の風
季節ごとに
秋の風
(HAIKU DIALOGUE – THE HAIKU FOUNDATION – AUGUST 24, 2022)
the calm
after the quarrel –
rainbow
la calma
dopo la lite –
arcobaleno
喧嘩の後の平穏
虹
(STARDUST HAIKU POETRY WITH A LITTLE SPARKLE ISSUE 65 – MAY 2022)
art gallery—
the war stays out
for a moment
Galleria d’arte—
la guerra resta fuori
per un istante
アートギャラリー
戦争は終わらない
ちょっとの間
(HAIKU DIALOGUE – THE HAIKU FOUNDATION – MARCH 16, 2022)
haiku –
the here and now
of a scar
haiku –
il qui e ora
di una cicatrice
俳句
傷跡のここそして今
(HAIKU DIALOGUE – THE HAIKU FOUNDATION – FEBRUARY 2, 2022)
the moment
of a snowflake –
our history
il momento
di un fiocco di neve –
la nostra storia
雪片の瞬間
私たちの歴史
