pamant rascolit-
nimeni nu vede in sant
luna de gheata

lake at sunset -
water becoming
pinot noir

the milky spring fog -
sharp, loud scream of the black storks
wrinkling the lake

8th International Haiku Contest Ludbreg 2009 - Honorable mention

old men gathering:
still folding and unfolding
origami cranes


International Haiku Contest "One Thousand Cranes" 2008 - The Third Prize

sleigh bells in the night
are twinkling among hills
holiday wishes

night before Christmas
the bleak wind folds and unfolds
carols and sleigh bells

luna de piatra -
pe rama cariata
o molie alba

old cavendish marks
no fragrance, nor impression
in tissue paper

rain in the night -
the little boy running around
chasing windmills

on autumn mornings
translucent dust of this world
washed away in dew

indefinite sea
a defence castle made by
an warrior girl

restless night
made even longer
by the twang of wind

my way getting narrow
no one on the road
already autumn

silent afternoon
drowsy wasps stick deeply
violet ripe grapes

after the summer
ruins of an old stone bridge
linked by the fog

another rainy night -
the greensward is covered by
sunflower petals

trecuta vara;
pe sine dezafectate
trenuri garate

the ghastly garden-
a scared hedgehog baby
looking for its nest

beyond the window
wind's woeful suspiration-
cooling red embers

coliba de stuf
in mijlocul gradinii -
paznicul doarme

curcubeu pe cer -
sub vrejuri, in gradina
cruzi inca - pepenii

a cazut bruma -
ultimul pepene verde
sub rugi uscate

pe masa de lemn
seminte de pepene -
batranul doarme

a trecut ploaia...
involburat curge raul
pepenii - tacuti

the wooden bench wet
the stone one already frozen -
autumn encounter

paianjenul alb
in lumina lanternei
panza-i e goala...

tracing the cover
of my still unfinished book:
a cloud's gold lining

the scent of mint leaves
in the afternoon drizzle
no words between us

apa de nisip
printre maluri cu flori mov
curgand catre niciunde

vita de vie
acoperind fereastra:
cerul peticit

pasari pe balta
zburand in cercuri stranse –
se lasa seara…

sperietoarea:
strajer zdrenturos uitat
in lanul de grau

lanul secerat
baloti rotunzi de paie -
templu efemer
