World Haiku Association, Nº 5, 2009, 1st Part)

How weak I am -
an itch where
the watchband touched

That bicycle for some time
lying on the ground -
scattered showers

Cherry-blossoms clams -
I used to be thrilled
at love

Yoshitomo Abe (1963- ) Japan

early in the morning
the merchant counts the money:
mild breeze slaps his thighs

Karunesh Kumar Agrawal (1976- ) India

At the ends of canals
I am following -
a land of butterflies

Wind in a conic shape
goes running -
mouth of a river

A firefly dies
when I flip a page
of the diary

Hirokazu Aihara (1970 - ) Thailand & Japan

Warm sunshine
makes me fly
out of the house

Night in spring -
it feels nice
sitting in a park

Ganbaatar Ankhtuya (1986 - ) Mongolia

Fait trop chaud l'été
fait trop froid l'hiver, dit-elle
Elle éclate de rire

Traverser le champ
en pensant à chaque brin d'herbe
et revenir

Dans ma famille, dit-elle
j'ai la réputation d'être
une grosse mangeuse

Jean Antonini (1946- ) France

At the bottom of the sea
a flatfish is
a cold postman

A pit viper
chasing the whereabouts
of the pension

A far-off earthquake -
an acacia tree cries
in the rain

Kiyoko Aoyama (1940 - ) Japan

wind in my hair ...
my skirt from Majorca
my blouse from Thasos

after the rain
the sounds became
so clear

Ludmila Balanova (1949 - ) Mongolia

in the courtyard
a family of robins -
sky-blue garbage bin

two horses and a donkey
with their backs to the rain -
alone in my hire-car

Grant Caldwell (1947 - ) Australia

Unaware of
each other two snowballs
racing downwards

A careful beggar
carries away a hedgehog
from a busy road

Two lonely moons floating:
one in the sea of the sky
one in the sky of the sea

Vladimir Devidé (1925 - ) Croatia
