carving a pair of eyes

to the wood spirit

broken bridge -

between my secret and yours,

deep water

I cancel the sale

of my old house

Shot Glass Journal - Issue 22, May 2017

1
dust taste –
the dog digs my shadow
for a bone 

2
rocking chairs
facing out to the grave side...
mine squeaks louder 

3
solar explosions –
the scythe turns flowers
face down

Never Ending Story - First English-Chinese Bilingual Haiku and Tanka Blog

Butterfly Dream: Refugees Haiku by Lavana Kray

English Original
boatload of refugees --
the wind playing with a doll
on the shore
Third Prize, 2016 European Haiku Prize

Chinese Translation (Traditional)
滿船的難民 --
大風不斷地吹滾
岸邊的娃娃
Chinese Translation (Simplified)
满船的难民 --
大风不断地吹滚
岸边的娃娃

Comment :
" L1 establishes the thematic and emotional context while Ls 2&3 effectively evoke a keen sense of sadness. And on a second reading, the wind and the doll successfully carry symbolic significance.

This heart-wrenching haiku reminds me one of my haiku:

Aegean shore ...
soaked teddy bear
and dead child

Featured Poet, Coviews, January 2017"

cherry tree scent -

its sawdust pillows
my head

parfum de cireș -

îmi fac din rumegușul său

o pernă

2

toxic wind -                    

the riverbed shaping
dandelion waves

x

vânt toxic -

valuri de păpădii

în albia râului

shorthand typing -      

the fluid language

of a skylark

x

tastez prescurtând -

limbajul fluid

al unei ciocârlii
