Five Haiku Poems by Maria Teresa Sisti

 



Haiku



solar eclipse -
who listens or who watches
a different wind


~


low clouds -
how many laughs from dad
I carry inside


~


late autumn –
the birch leaves
ready to fly


~


hospice window -
there is no more time
for a new night


~


autumnal grey -
even the thought of you
is disappearing




Maria Teresa Sisti, born and raised in Belgium until the age of twelve when she moved permanently to Italy for family and study reasons. She began to read and study haiku in 2014, deciding to write her own with the help of everything that her gaze, touch and smell can capture from nature, life and everyday life that surround her. She has participated in literary competitions obtaining important awards. Her poems have been published online and in printed magazines in Italy and around the world. She was listed in the European Top 100 haiku authors and at 2021 she published her first haiku collection "Piccoli semi di arancio" ( Little orange seeds ) printed in Italy on behalf of Accademia Barbanera.
