Eight Haiku Poems by Samo Kreutz

 

HAIKU

 

late morning frost

she fixes her baby's

swing

 

~

snow smell ...

his first visit to mum

in a nursing home

 

~

new shoes

on lacquered toecap

the old moon

 

~

anniversary

crystals in her hand –

first snowflakes

 

~

winter half-light

the time we play

god

 

~

friendly dog

all that playfulness

at the cemetery gates

 

~

chrysanthemum

in every petal rests

different tale

 

~

Christmas Eve ...

talking to the stars

an orphan
