huellas cubiertas

cada vez que pienso en ti

orquídea salvaje

hidden traces

every time I think of you

wild orchid

tracce nascoste

ogni volta che penso a te

orchidea selvaggia

campo invernale

s'accende il mattino

sulla rugiada

winter field

the morning ignites

on the dew

campo invernal

la mañana se inflama

sobre el rocío

al primo freddo

di velluto carezza

smorza i brividi

getting cold -

caressing touch of velvet

softens the shivers

sul far del giorno

raggio di sole indora

occhi di sonno

November daybreak

a flicker of sunlight gilds

children's dozy eyes

Novembermorgen

erster Lichtstrahl vergoldet

schläfrige Augen

Here is a haiku of mine that appeared on Eufemia Griffo's amazing multiblog Memorie di una Geisha earlier this month on Okuribi Samhain!

magic Samhain night

this quiet wait at the dawn

of a new rebirth

magico Samhain

quieta attesa alle soglie

di nuova rinascita

I am so pleased I have been featured on Freya Pickard's wonderful blog Dragonscale Clippings today where I was welcomed on my EPod interview!

winter dawn

amid trails of gold

a calycanthus

alba invernale

tra i sentieri dorati

d'un calicantus

Tagesanbruch

auf den goldenen Pfaden

des Gewürzstrauches

towards the end

an autumn leaf still trembling

within her hands

verso la fine

foglia d'autunno ancor trema

tra le sue mani

vers la fin

feuille d'automne tremble encore

entre ses mains

Some of my haiku appear in the anthology of the literary competition La Couleur D'un Poème, Inchiostri d'Amore, along with the work of great poets and artists.

cuscino vuoto

stille di rimpianto

e una lettera

drops of regret

on the empty pillow

an open envelope

Bedauerntropfen

auf dem leeren Kissen

ein Brief liegt offen
