A dew drop smiles sitting on a leaf
the tree looked indulgently at the juvenile
the Great Oak secretly fumes

Fallen autumn leaves;
Dancing around with the wind;
Tells us, “Summer’s gone!”
by Tomas Cahak
(Prague, Czech)
In cold and darkness,
every each night is sinking.
Covered in silence.
Memory of her
even so many miles far away,
grow to be a light.
Ditto so fragile
as night silence before dawn
will fly away somewhere.

About the author: "Living in Prague which happens to be one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been in. So no need to go far for inspiration. However this is my first haiku, so please be tolerant as I am aware that translation may not be perfect. But believe me, in Czech it sound a lot better. Or I certainly hope so."

Autumn is now here
And leaves are starting to fall
But Winter is soon.

Pomegranates bleed.
My garden remembers mist.
Hot, I dream of fall.
A sunny morning
The fishes were out to play
While kids were asleep

In a spirally fashion.

Blue moon high above
Occurring uncommonly
Vast, lustrous, and white.
Sitting at my desk
the sun bleaches the earth
alone, silent, clean.

Warm wind, and blue sea,
Can peace be much simpler,
Much more than we thought?
_______________
About the author: "Well, I really like writing haiku poems. This one is just about how the answers to complex questions can be very simple, but sometimes we just can't accept it because of its simplicity. I am a college student, and am usually stressed out and try to find ways to relax. I recently took a trip to the beach, and all my stress melted away, inspiration for the poem."
