Winter - first year

This is a collection of haiku I'm working on.
winter - first year

al crepuscolo
mani sbiadite in cerca
degli occhiali

at dusk
faded hands
looking for glasses

quattro cipressi
all’incrocio del viale-
senti le voci?

four cypresses
at the crossroad-
can you hear the voices?

bottiglia vuota
bevi le mie parole
per questo inverno

empty bottle
drink my words
this winter

tornare a pranzoe
sul tavolo ancora
cerchi di latte

back for lunch
and on the table
still rings of milk

guantino rosso perché
non ci infiliamo
le tue conchiglie?

little red mitten
why don't we fill it
with your shells?

palla di neve ecco,
adesso vediamo
se mi colpisci

snowball
now we shall see
if you hit me

pane olio e sale
le merende d’inverno
con la mia mamma

bread oil and salt
the winter snacks
with mum

arancio zucca
e bianco latte caldo-
che bel maglione!

orange pumpkin
and white hot milk-
what a nice jumper!

the first one here gives me the most powerful image, the second is filled with intrigue.  in fact, so is the empty bottle.  again, I'll have to contemplate the rest further.  very nice work though Alessandra.
