Two Poems and Two Haiku Sequencies by Samo Kreutz

 

Blossoming

 

no longer alone

this tree

 

deep in your eyes

 

exploding

into the myriad of pink and white

 

poems

 

A piece of my poem (a haiku sequence)

 

morning dew ...

a piece of my poem

lent to the bee

 

flower therapy

completely calm

spring wind

 

shimmering heat

not a bit distorted

a tulip scent 

 

house wren ...

all the variations

of this haiku

 

No boundaries

 

greater

than our worlds

and our skies

 

sometimes

even bigger as destiny

 

only

to hide inside us

when the winter finally arrives

 

this limitless august forest

 

Sleep and wakefulness (a haiku sequence)

 

between

sleep and wakefulness –

an early spring woods

 

dense tree crown

completely lost in it

a cloud

 

autumn grove

the different colours

of grandad's stories

 

breath vapour

severely crooked

the oak branches
