under spring clouds
a cheerful rattling
tram ride

300 people

August 20th 2012, written after the earthquake in Iran:

300 people
and the dry summer grass
God's cry in the dust


I thank Massih Talebian for his translation into Parsi:

ترجمهء فوری این هایکوی قشنگ از خانم آنا ماریا

سیصد نفر
و علف های خشک تابستان
فریاد خدا در غبار

caught between nightmares
and a longing for home...
the first autumn wind

#28 August 'wishes or dreams' prompt on the NaHaiWriMo page

not finished yet
the new house - still
the first fire

October 2011

summer silence...
a sudden gust of wind
jingles the chimta

July 24th

slowly driving home
accompanied by mist
summer dawn...

broken hopes
lightly crossing the bridge
over spring river
