refugees convoy -
a newborn baby smiles
in his sleep

when the sun sinks low
refugees' shadows conglobulate
over the wired border...
a tender lullaby
softens the wind

Golden Haiku Contest 2016

                    

        RUNNER UP

------------------------

1
pruning the trees
of public garden —
crow eggs on asphalt
2 
little girl
pushing a baby stroller —
plum petals over dolls
3
flea street vendor —
the straw hat turning
into a bird nest
4
old cherry tree
ready to be cut down -
blossoming overnight
5
sweeping forbidden!
the girl hangs a banner
in the cherry blooms
