Spring - first year

This is a collection of haiku I'm working on.

 

Spring - first year 

 

la gazza becca

da una pozzanghera

anelli d'acqua

 

magpie pecking

from a puddle

water rings

 

 

 

sotto il salice

lavato dalla pioggia

vecchio triciclo

 

under the willow tree

washed by rain

old trycicle

 

 

 

- odor di pane -

riflessa nella pozza

l'alba lavanda

 

- smell of bread -

reflected in the pond

a lavender dawn

 

 

 

niente mimose

quest'aria frizzantina

chiede un gelato

 

no mimosas

this crispy breeze

asks for an ice-cream

 

 

s'accuccia muta

abbassando le orecchie-

nuvole cupe

 

she squats silent

lowering her ears

gloomy clouds

 

 

sgomita il sole

nella striscia di cielo

fra i condomini

 

the sun elbowing

in the strip of sky

between the blocks

 

 

di un altro verde

sui banchi del mercato

gli zucchini

 

another green

on the market's counters

zucchini

 

 

dalla vetrina

spalancano le bocche

mille orchidee

 

from the shop's window

opening their mouths

a thousand orchids
