lumini spenti -

sopra il gelido marmo

solo astri d'oro

unlit candles -

only golden asters

on the cold grave

vecchia lapide -

un'orchidea sfiorita

e la mamma

old gravestone -

a wilted orchid

and mum

Lieta e grata per il risultato ottenuto con la mia raccolta poetica Nonostante il Vento al premio nazionale 2018 di poesia edita Leandro Polverini!

I thank editor Adjei Agyei-Baah so much for publishing one haiku of mine in Mamba issue 6, Africa's number one international haiku journal!

Namibian spring -

the blue cranes' courtship show

on blooming carpets

wildflowers fragrance

through limitless expanses

the mind runs free

profumi di campo

lungo spazi infiniti

corre il pensiero

October noon

the maple leaves and my hair

glow like copper

sole d'ottobre

nell'acero e i capelli

sprazzi di rame

One haiku of mine appeared at thehaikufoundation.org in the column A Sense of Place edited by Kathy Munro! I feel really happy and honoured!

last wildflowers
in the shady meadow
vanishing scents
