missing icicle

the loss easy to bear

for the hope of spring

nuclear winter

of discontent

my stick snaps

in today's email-
good friend ends his autumn
and finally rests

more daylight
less sleep --
half moon in the balance

I hear an owl
ice running down the roof
like mice

* * *

kuulen pöllön
jäät juoksevat katolta
kuin hiiret

packing for a move-
broken Christmas trinkets
fill a trash can

small hills of grit

along the pathway

men are sweeping

dust we are
to dust we shall return
Lenten's lesson

winter goes away
crows enlightens about it
on the trees

spring wind
twisted together snowflakes
direct to the summer

The spring sun
Sparrows rejoice
On dung of horses

first sun of March -
in an email coming from South
almond trees in blossom

**

premier soleil de mars -
dans un mail venu du Sud
les amandiers en fleur

fear of attachment
I watch my wife cross the road
behind cold windows
.

sodium light
wounded by cold air
in the alley
between the estate agent
and the betting shop

icy winter day
refusing his brown hand
she slips again

World Haiku Review
January 2011

Haiku..meager

meager icing
on a cake, the snow,
once more

it hurts
to think about the break up
i'm feeding the koi

menyakitkan
berfikir tentang perpisahan
aku memberi makan koi

morning commute
mounds of dirty snow
on the shaded lawn

playground--
like a fairytale hero
snowmen

frolicking
through snowflakes
first spring wind

a vee of geese
sunlight flashing on wings
sparrow chorus
