Fallen autumn leaves;
Dancing around with the wind;
Tells us, “Summer’s gone!”

Until the dawn comes

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."

Simple Peace

by Cymphoni
(Texas)

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."
