Alenka's favourite haiku
Haiku of the international community

Sharing haiku we understand each other in many small things worth to live for, we share haiku moments from nature, of silence......our way of thinking, emotion, living, we give support, we open to each other, we share ourselves ....... It's very nice and rare in this world. That's why I want to call this page "Touches".

a sudden vastness
between stars

une soudaine immensité
entre les étoiles

autumn
so many flowers I've never seen
never smelled

automne
tant de fleurs que je n'ai jamais vues
jamais senties

in and out of view
we sheild our eyes to track
the skylark

thunderstorm
the curtains too thick
for the lightning

orage
les rideaux trop épais
pour l'éclair

hand in hand
up the snowy street
the old couple

main dans la main
vers le haut de la rue enneigée
le vieux couple

firefly
trapped in a jar
no more light

la luciole
piegée dans la jarre
plus de lumiere

on the beach someone else's footprints

sur la plage les pas de quelqu'un d'autre

a student shelters
under his notes

pluie soudaine
un étudiant s'abrite
sous ses notes

too blue
to be black
evening shadows

trop de bleu
pour etre noirs
les ombres du soir

Kevin Ryan

friends talk
decreasing circles of timidity
bring a squirrel closer

on the hard shoulder -
a dandelion is
and nothing more

not as alone
as I thought I was --
animal tracks

pas aussi seule
que je croyais l'etre --
des traces d'un animal

his old felt hat
still retains an essence
of home

son vieux chapeau de feutre
garde encore une odeur
de la maison

night falls starless
resting inside
my tired eyes
