noon breeze
a song begins
in the bluebird's throat
.
morning light...
with my deep breath
a cuckoo's song
_kala
nightfall -
birdsongs
fade
***
la nuit tombe -
les chants d'oiseaux
s'estompent
she asks
me again,
how much calcium
should she take?
my tiny mother's bones
stronger than her memory

This is my new painting for the First prize in the 7th 'Calico Cat' haiku contest. Shiki-shi rice paper, sumi ink, Chinese watercolors. Scroll. Maybe some of you will like it enough to submit haiku to the contest :) All other prizes are also my original sumi-e. Looking forward to read your haiku, dear friends!
Moscow subway--
between two stations
a kiss
blackbirds' songs
at nightfall -
the birdbath overflows
***
le chant des merles
dans le soir qui tombe -
le bain d'oiseaux déborde
dusk
the brook becomes
its sound
(Published in World Haiku Review)
morning Tai Chi--
the atmospheric dust
dances with me
blossoming rapeseeds -
small wrinkles
at the corner of her eyes
***
colzas en fleur -
de petites rides
au coin de ses yeux
