Two poems, haiku and one-line haiku in The Pan Haiku Review Autumn/Winter Edition 2025 (issue 6)

 

 

morning chill
a last bloom of lotus
in the still lake 

 .......

each step drowns dunes of late autumn

(This one also received the 'Mahō mention' which translates to 'magic' in English)

early winter breeze

with a sprinkle

of cinnamon and pepper

the soup simmers

our childhood memories

 

briză de început de iarnă

cu un strop

de scorțișoară și piper

supa fierbe la foc mic

amintirile noastre din copilărie

roadside daisies
reaching the end
of twenties

 

 

evening walk
the simpler times
mother talks about

 

early winter
my own shadow
falling short

The Quiet Before

Beneath

hush of thoughts,

silence of an eclipsed mind paces-

Like those medieval paintings

serene, still, lost in time.

A moment

never to be retrieved,

endless-

this spiral, wherever I go.

 

By the brooks,

by the creeks,

unrest lingers in the calm

almost fading the bright of sun-

The sky cloaked in grey,

as if holding the storm

yet to begin.
