Some of my favourite haiku around the world

- part one -

 

June breeze
a hole in the cloud
mends itself

Valentine's Award * The Heron's Nest, 2001.
an'ya

junski povetarac -
rupa u oblaku krpi se
sama od sebe

 

moonset -
a sudden vastness
between stars

First place * Florida State Poet's Haiku Contest, 2001.
an'ya


mesečev zalazak -
iznenadni beskraj
medju zvezdama

 

breaking up -
things his, not hers
hers, not his

Ray Rasmussen


raskid -
stvari njegove, ne njene
njene, njegove ne

 

Oolong tea
in such a small cup
so much warmth

Asahi Haikuist Network, November 2, 2001
Kuniharu Shimizu


Oolong čaj
u tako maloj šolji
toliko topline

 

his life, and then
her life gone ...
distant fireworks

HASEE 2001.
Kuniharu Shimizu


prodje njegov život,
sad i njen ...
vatromet u daljini

 

Summer shower.
An old woman with umbrella
visiting her roses.


Zoran Doderović

Letnji pljusak.
Starica sa kišobranom
obilazi ruže.

 

Whistle of the train -
Peasants in the field
raises their hoes.


Commended * Yellow Moon Contest, 1999.
Zoran Doderović

Na zvižduk voza
seljaci u polju
dižu motike.

 

On the pavement
silver graffiti -
a snail passes.


Third Prize * Kusamakura Haiku Competition, 1999.
Milosav Doderović

Na stazi
srebrni grafiti -
prolazi puž golać.

 

A mosquito and a spider ...
despair and disappointment
in the same web.


Milosav Doderović

Komarac i pauk...
Očaj i razočaranost
u istoj mreži.

 

midnight
me in one century
you in one other


HASEE 2001.
Serge Tome

ponoć -
ja u jednom
ti u drugom veku

 

moon
over the lake
alone


HASEE 2001.
Serge Tome

mesec
nad jezerom
sam

 

cold cemetery
the long sleeves of your old coat
warm my fingertips
even from beyond this grave
you manage to comfort me


The Most Votes * Tanka Splendor/ahapoetry, 2000.
an'ya


hladno groblje
dugački rukavi tvog starog kaputa
greju mi vrške prstiju
čak i sa one strane groba
umeš da me utešiš

 

after the quarrel
the sound of rain filling
emptiness between us

&
po prepiru
šum dežja napolnjuje
praznino med nama


HASEE 2001.
Alenka Zorman

posle prepirke
šum kiše ispunjava
prazninu medju nama

 

ebb tide -
a small sea only
in my navel

&
oseka -
majceno morje le
v mojem popku


HASEE 2001.
Alenka Zorman

oseka -
majušno more još samo
u mom pupku

 

sunset...
grandmother casts her sins
into the sea


Joyce Maxner

zalazak sunca ...
baka svoje grehe
odbacuje u more

 

the autumn fog -
scream of a crane connected
heaven and earth


Dragan J. Ristić

jutarnja magla -
kliktaj ždrala poveza
nebo i zemlju
