Haiku by Vilma Knežević
1.
transmission line
magpies estranged
after a brawl
2.
fallen plums
ants entering them
worms on the way out
3.
a historical bridge
still tightly holding
the two river banks
4.
above a roundabout
the Bora carrying away
circling seagulls
5.
a little hogweed
erasing the borders
between garden beds
6.
a mowed meadow
the bees moved
cross the river
7.
the scent of the spring
a nose and flower
connected
8.
white dresses..
a muddy rain arrived
from Africa
9.
postal stamp
a motive of the Earth
on the road
10.
a dry stone wall
out of age
growing a tummy
