otac i sin
pod djedovom trešnjom ...

prvi cvijetovi


father and son

under grandpa's cherry tree . . .

first blossoms

Haiku časopis IRIS br. 2 / IRIS haiku magazine No. 2 – 2008, Croatia

kroz rolete
na nemirnim kapcima
usnuo mjesec


through shutters
on restless eyelids
full moon asleep

Književno pero br. 14 / 'Književno pero' literary magazine, 2016, Rijeka, Croatia

u borbi 

za plivačevom pažnjom
vjetar i val


fighting for 

a swimmer's attention

wind and wave

'Under the Basho' haiku journal 2016

Under the Basho

osim osmijeha
ništa drugo se ne miče ...
tužno lice

besides a smile
nothing else moves. . .
sad face

'Under the Basho' haiku journal 2016

Under the Basho

prvi pogled ...

u njegovim malim očima

moj vlastiti odraz


first gaze. . . 

my own reflection 

in his little eyes

'Under the Basho' haiku journal 2016

Under the Basho 

 

 

malene ruke
za crvenom loptom
u obzor


little hands
after the red ball
into the horizon
 

'Under the Basho' haiku journal 2016

Under the Basho

 na obranom polju

strašilo maše zbogom
svojim bundevama


on a harvested field
a scarecrow waves farewell
to its pumpkins

prva prehlada ...
skupe se u nosu
jesenji sokovi


first cold. . .
gathering in the nose
autumn juices

3. Susret hrvatskih haiđina, Ivanić-Grad, 2016. / 3rd Croatian Haiku Meeting, Ivanić-Grad, Croatia, 2016 – pohvala/commended

svakim uzdahom
kišni oblak sve dalje
od osušenog polja


with every breath
a rain cloud farther away
from a dried up field

teče

niz ulicu

jučerašnji snjegović


running

down the street

yesterday's snowman

torta premala
za nekoliko svijeća
previše


the cake too small
for a few candles
too many


Haiku časopis IRIS br.9-10 /IRIS haiku magazine No.9-10 – 2016

razigrana

između bure i smiraja
zavjesa


playful
between tempest and calm
a curtain
 

24.Samoborski haiku susreti/24th Samobor Haiku Meeting (iz zbornika/from the miscellany) 2016

sparnu noć
umalo ohladi
pun mjesec


sultry night

almost chilled by
full moon

Haiku časopis IRIS br.9-10 /IRIS haiku magazine No.9-10 – 2016

poskakuje
iz dlana u dlan
vrući kesten


hopping
from palm to palm
a hot chestnut

pinije uz more ...
  uši još pune zrike
u šutnji sutona


pines by the sea. . .
my ears still full of crickets
 in sunset silence

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

na žedno tijelo
u zagušljivu sobu
žedan komarac

 

on a thirsty body
into a stuffy room  
a thirsty mosquito


24.Samoborski haiku susreti/24th Samobor Haiku Meeting (iz zbornika/from the miscellany) 2016

za žege

u preplanuli pupak

uroni njen prst

 

during the heat

into a tanned navel

her finger plunges

 

 

 

Sharpening the Green Pencil Haiku Contest, (iz zbornika/from the miscellany), Romania 2016

 

skakavci

obraslom livadom
za korak brži


grasshoppers
across an overgrown field
a step too fast


 

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

za nevere
glasnije od grmljavine
malo srce
 

during storm
louder than thunder
a little heart

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

i dalje gladak
nakon tisuće poljubaca 
 obraz djeteta


still smooth
after thousands of kisses
a child's cheek

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

do koljena
povezan sa svijetom ...
u plićaku


up to the knees
connected to the world. . .
in the shallows

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

zaplače
za izgubljenom granom
kivi

 
weeping
over its lost branch
a kiwi vine

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

nemir u sobi ...
polako ali sigurno
prdac


stir in the room. . .
slowly but surely
a fart

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

ispuni sobu
iza zaleđenog prozora
mimoza


filling the room
behind a frozen window
mimosa

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

slomljena grana ...
na znatiželjni prst
kapnula suza


broken branch. . .
on a curious finger
a teardrop

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

omjesečeno nebo ...
pod plaštom od oblaka
bdije kiša


moonlit sky. . .
under a blanket of clouds
rain awake

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

zgnječen
između dvije noći
zimski dan

 

crushed
between two nights
winter day

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

srce veliko
u malenom tijelu ...
radoznali dječak 

the heart so big
in a little body. . .
curious boy

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

u dugoj kosi
prkosi pogledima
latica trešnje
 

in her long hair
defying the stares
a cherry petal
 

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

za maslinom
u košaru uroni
i kap znoja


after an olive
diving into a basket
a drop of sweat

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

niz pijesak
pred malim stopalima
pobjeglo more


down the sand
before little feet
a sea fleeing

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

poteče
iz majčinih grudi
noćna tišina


flowing
from mother's breast
nightly silence
