solar eclipse. . .

across a dandelion

an ant

pomrčina sunca... 

preko maslačka

prošeće mrav

日蝕にー

タンポポを横切ってゆく

蟻一つ

between the rains. . .
from puddle to puddle
a rippling face


između kiša ...
od lokve do lokve
namreškano lice

a merry party
on a dried-up field. . .
cracked pumpkin


veseli skup
na osušenom polju ...
napukla bundeva

stomach groans louder

posni dan...
trbuh kruli glasnije
od hladnjaka

hopping
from dark to dark
a hedgehog


skokne
iz mraka u mrak
jež

under the eaves
listening to the rain
a butterfly and child


pod strehom
osluškuju kišu
leptir i dijete

a sudden breeze
turns a white petal
into a butterfly


nenadan vjetrić
pretvori bijelu laticu
u leptira

(iz zbornika/from the miscellany)

a willow bends
towards the speedy river...
a kiss runs away


nagne se vrba
prema užurbanoj rijeci ...
pobjegne poljubac

defying the wind
a thrown plastic bag. . .
halted by a branch 

prkosi vjetru
odbačena vrećica ...
zapela na grani

fallen leaves. . .
the wind still rustles
on the branches


otpalo lišće ...
i dalje na granama
 šušti vjetar

at summer sunset
seagulls from the sea
into a dustbin

 

u ljetni suton
galebovi sa mora
u kantu za smeće



Blog.hr: http://smilingcricket.blog.hr/

 

mirrored sea
and floating islands
from the sky

zrcalno more
i plutajući otoci
s neba



Blog.hr: http://smilingcricket.blog.hr/

 

with the light
through closed eyelids
Monday ringing

sa svjetlom
kroz zatvorene kapke
zvoni ponedjeljak



Blog.hr: http://smilingcricket.blog.hr/ 

 

night shower. . .
the scent of thirsty soil
into a sultry room

noćni pljusak ...
miris žedne zemlje
u sparnu sobu



Blog.hr: http://smilingcricket.blog.hr/

little finger
in search for little brother
on a belly

zaustavi se
u potrazi za bracom
prstić na trbuhu

little pond
inside a thirsty swallow
hastily upwards


jezerce
u žednoj lastavici
žurno uvis

all expectations
kicking for a moment
on mother's palm


sva očekivanja
kucnu na trenutak
u majčin dlan



Haiku časopis IRIS br.7/8-2015 / IRIS haiku magazine No.7/8-2015

 

 

from blue to red
after a distant ship
a little finger


iz modrog u crveno
za dalekim brodom
maleni prst



Haiku časopis IRIS br.7/8-2015 / IRIS haiku magazine No.7/8-2015

 

fleeing 

before a full moon
the stars


pobjegle
pred punim mjesecom
zvijezde



Haiku časopis IRIS br.7/8-2015 / IRIS haiku magazine No.7/8-2015

plunging
into the darkness
a car's lights

uroniše
svjetla automobila
u mrak

closed eyes
still listening
to mom's whisper


sklopljene oči
i dalje osluškuju
mamin šapat

Blog.hr: http://smilingcricket.blog.hr/

look at me!
lonely street lamp
versus moon

 

pogledaj me!
usamljena ulična lampa
protiv mjeseca


 

Blog.hr: http://smilingcricket.blog.hr/

 

gotcha!
hooked up by the same thought
angler and fish

 

imam te!
spojeni istom mišlju
ribič i riba

in the harbour
a merry orchestra. . .
the chimes of masts

 

u lučici
veseli orkestar ...
zvone jarboli

still running
from the nose
yesterday's sea
 

 

još curi
iz nosa jučerašnje
more

afternoon fly
in search for some shade
into my ear

 

popodnevna muha
u potrazi za hladom
u moje uho

between four eyes
and two smiles
nose cuddle


između četiri oka
i dva osmijeha
zagrljaj noseva

Blog.hr: http://smilingcricket.blog.hr/

briefly interrupting
a housewife's midday peace
a moth on the screen

 

na tren prekine
podnevni mir kućanice
moljac na ekranu

for the first time
through thirsty furrows
autumn flowing

 

po prvi put
kroz žedne brazde
potekla jesen

Blog.hr: http://smilingcricket.blog.hr/

warming itself
between body hairs
winter Bora


zagrije se
između dlaka na tijelu
zimska bura

back and forth
four eyes alike-
  puppy and child

 

amo tamo
četiri oka ista -
  psić i dijete

dry-stone walls. . . 
signatures of ancestors
across the valley


suhozidi ...
potpisi predaka
kroz dolinu



The Shiki Monthly Kukai - Travanj/April 2009

first sun
filling the streets
with bora


prvo sunce
ispunilo ulice
burom

storm outside. . .
quietly a gentle breeze
sways the curtain


vani bura ...
tiho njiše zavjesu

povjetarac


EUROPEAN QUARTERLY KUKAI #10 – Summer 2015

sightseeing. . .
untaken pictures gone
with the flood


razgled grada ...
nesnimljene fotografije
nestale sa poplavom



The Shiki Monthly Kukai - Svibanj/May 2013

poking
its yesterday fly 
the same finger


gurka
jučerašnju muhu
isti prstić



The Shiki Monthly Kukai - Travanj/April 2010

tomorrow
after my forefinger
the same dust

 

sutradan

za kažiprstem 

ista prašina



The Shiki Monthly Kukai - Svibanj/May 2013

even sour sweat

smells sweet on you

sleeping child

 

i kiseli znoj

na tebi miriše slatko

usnulo dijete

7.Kloštranski haiku susreti, Kloštar Ivanić /7.Klostar Ivanic Haiku Contest (iz zbornika/from the miscellany) 2009

first step outside. . .

suddenly the wind is aware

of me only


prvi korak van ...

vjetar odjednom svjestan

samo mene

The Shiki Monthly Kukai - Studeni/November 2013

in pitch-black night

a tree that used to be there

rustles under the feet

 

u mrklom mraku

drvo koje je bilo tu

zašuštalo pod nogama

The Shiki Monthly Kukai - Listopad/October 2014

under downpour

umbrellas swaying-

sunflower field


pod pljuskom

zanjihali se kišobrani -

polje suncokreta

The Shiki Monthly Kukai - Kolovoz/August 2014

sun and sea

embraced on the horizon. . .

blushing sky


sunce i more

zagrljeni na obzoru ...

zarumenilo nebo



The Shiki Monthly Kukai - Lipanj/June 2013

back and forth

from nose to mouth

a snotty finger


amo tamo
od nosa do ustiju

šmrkavi prst


 

The Shiki Monthly Kukai - Studeni/November 2008

jumping

from cloud to cloud

little rain boots

 

skakuću
sa oblaka na oblak
male čizmice


 

The Shiki Monthly Kukai - Studeni/November 2013

laughter
down the slide
into tears

niz tobogan
klizne smijeh
u plač

wondering...
blossoming almond tree
in February frost


začuđen...
procvali badem
u veljačkoj zimi

 

Haiku časopis IRIS br.2 - 2008/IRIS haiku magazine No.2 - 2008

white brush stroke
on azure canvas...
passengers to the sun


bijeli potez kista
na azurnom platnu...
putnici ka suncu

breeze in the field. . .

amidst a green wave

a peering poppy

nad poljem lahor ...

usred zelenog vala

proviri mak

the big blue. . .
salt too
in her eyes



 duboko plavetnilo ...
i sol
u njenim očima

Haiku časopis IRIS br.1 - 2008/IRIS haiku magazine No.1 – 2008

between blue and red
wrapped in Bora wind
a pink cloud


omotan burom
između plavog i crvenog
ružičasti oblak

the wind
seems colder
on a motorbike

da je vjetar hladniji
na motoru

full moon
above the rain...
tranquil night


pun mjesec
iznad kiše...
tiha noć

same droplets
in a fresh rain puddle
once again


i opet
u svježoj lokvi kiše
iste kapi



Haiku časopis IRIS br.3 - 2009/IRIS haiku magazine No.3 - 2009

with the shoe
through fallen leaves

poop for a walk



kroz palo lišće
sa cipelom u šetnju
i govance

11.haiku dan 'Dubravko Ivančan', Krapina /11.Dubravko Ivančan Haiku Contest, Krapina (iz zbornika/from the miscellany) 2009

vanished
in their own greyness
autumn clouds


nestali
u vlastitom sivilu
jesenji oblaci 

16.haiku dan 'Dubravko Ivančan', Krapina /16.Dubravko Ivančan Haiku Contest, Krapina (iz zbornika/from the miscellany) 2014

sun at last. . .
overgrown with chirrups
a naked tree


napokon sunce ...
obraslo cvrkutom
golo stablo

16.haiku dan 'Dubravko Ivančan', Krapina /16.Dubravko Ivančan Haiku Contest, Krapina (iz zbornika/from the miscellany) 2014

first snow. . .
the same dotted white
up and down


prvi snijeg ...
iste bijele točke
gore i dolje

dazzling at dawn
full of white tinsel
green grass


blista u zoru
puna bijelih šljokica
zelena trava

even during storm
it holds all the threads-
clothes peg

i pod burom
drži sve konce
štipaljka

Haiku časopis IRIS br.2 - 2008/IRIS haiku magazine No.2 - 2008

September sea. . .
summer and autumn
in silver shimmer


rujansko more ...
u srebrnom ljeskanju
ljeto i jesen
