autumn forest
gold paint on the landscape
not yet quite dry


hawthorn on the wind
between you and me
a blazing flame


the last train has departed
on the empty platform
only the wind


the first frost
around the tree a circle
of yellow fallen leaves


walk on the beach
the sea ebbs and flows
under my feet


autumn storm
freezing amber seekers
drink tea with vodka

sketchbook

Cold stones--
the candle flame
drains the tears

asahi

falling leaves—
last kiss
before parting

sketchbook

an empty beach—
the sea erases
bare feet tracks


beach walking—
out loud I calculate
Fibonacci Numbers


wave crests wipe out
a double set of footprints—
the empty beach

sketchbook

you and I—
on the wedding cake
fresh strawberries

sketchbook

buds on birches—
lost in the temptation. . .
a handful of daisies


industrial zone—
dandelion fluff floating
in grey skies

sketchbook

end of the life line
smoke ring by smoke ring
from my pipe

The Mainichi Haiku Contest 2009

autumn forest:
gold paint on the landscape
yet not dry

mainichi

An autumn wind blows
between you and me
the silence

asahi

night-scented stocks smell -
in the rocking armchair
I'm looking at stars

miris noći u mirisu klada -
u stolcu za ljuljanje
gledam zvijezde
