glasnije
od velikog slapa
kapi kiše
louder
than the big waterfall
raindrops

On October 6th, 2019, at the 6th Annual Bučijada Haiku Meeting in
Ivanić-Grad, Croatia, it was our pleasure to present six haiku and one senryu,
each of which was composed co-operatively and equally by all three of us.
During a one year span we composed a total of 85 haiku and senryu that in
each instance was written collaboratively either in pairs or as a group of
three. We discovered that working together on each poem created an
ebb-and-flow, push-and-pull process. Composing stand-alone collaborative haiku
provided continual opportunities for the organic expressions of complementary
energies; complexities of ideas;
shifts of perspectives; and
juxtapositions of personal and cultural experiences, perceptions, and memories.
Since this process represents intersection and unity, each poem is an example
of nexus: a central focal point of
connection. Consequently, we call our
collaborative autonomous poems Nexus Haiku.
Following, are the poems we read at the 6th Annual Bučijada Haiku Meeting:
cafe door hinges
singing all morning
off-beat in rain
kišno jutro -
vratne šarke kafića
pjevaju u off-beatu
bora wind begins
the fragrance of
prosciutto
in waves
okrenulo na buru
zamirisao pršut
u refulima
approaching
her scent before
her kiss
flower moon
njen miris
prije njenog
poljupca
cvjetni mjesec
hibiscus tea
sip by sip among roses
and crickets
čaj od hibiskusa
guc po guc među
ružama
i cvrčcima
angler
the new moon
casting a long
light
ribič
mladi mjesec
baci dugo svjetlo
cigarette ash
still keeping its
shape∼
shed skin of a
snake
još drži oblik
pepeo cigarete∼
odbačena zmijska
koža
Sunday brunch . . .
today's main course
of yesterday's
discussion
nedjeljni ručak …
od jučerašnje
rasprave
današnje glavno
jelo
