Eight Haiku Poems by Samo Kreutz

 

HAIKU

 

red umbrella ...

how only her giggle

stays dry

 

wedding photo ...

between bride and groom

carnation scent

 

giant chestnut tree ...

how much has her son

blossomed

 

his fishing story

paused in silence

a breeze

 

scarlet wine ...

the way she

sighs

 

his old bones ...

that sudden urge to buy

Ferrari

 

dilapidated house ...

the faint smell of mum's

lullabies

 

tarp in the rain

my dad's words echo

how to stand tall
