Samobor 2025

spots of sunlight
on the mossy jetty
smell of calamus

a tiny garden
over the neighbor's fence
clematis in bloom

yellowed leaves
in a rainwater barrel
a toy boat

carnival show
sparks from flaming torches
hiss in the snow

a peep
through the hole in the wall
the primrose bud

a lingering scent
in the rose garden
fallen petals

how quiet!
we leap into the piles
of dry leaves
(World Haiku Review, Winter 2019)

deep snow
the monks retrace their steps
from the shrine

long recovery
cherry blossoms
on the net


sweltering heat
a smoke over the landfill
maintains vertical


musing . . .
a cry from the riverside
tears the fog


nativity scene
old monk on the ladder
fixes a star

 Spring 

felled tree

on the barren trunk
greening twigs

zwalone drzewo

na wysuszonym pniu

zieleń gałązek

Summer

ants in the run

flicking a stalk of grass

first drops of rain                                        mrówki w biegu

trącające źdźbło trawy

pierwsze krople dżdżu

Autumn 

foul weather
in my cappuccino cup
a smiley face

 jesienna plucha

w kubku cappuccino

śmieje się buźka

Winter 

back from the ball . . .

you kiss snowflakes

on my hair                                                             powrót z balu . . .

całujesz płatki śniegu

na moich włosach
