: Morning Breeze
|

A fresh breath
among the grafted fruit trees:
morning breeze
|
Vasile Moldovan |
|
|
In the flooded
meadow
brushwood for a new nest
|
Magdalena Dale |
|
|
Noon time
a tadpole struggles
in the swan’s beak
|
vm |
|
|
Spring moon
appearing
also in the trawl-net
|
md |
|
|
Evening tea:
the fragrance of lime blossom
fills the bedroom
|
vm |
|
|
The pillow
still retains
the perfume of your hair
|

Open window
a cuckoo's song disappears
in the distance
|
vm |
|
|
Walking towards
the field
I listen to love's echo
|
md |
|
|
On the roadside
watching the daybreak
wild chamomile
|
vm |
|
|
A cloud of
locusts
overflying the lawn
|
md |
|
|
Dog days -
in the combine's shadow
the afternoon repose
|
vm |
|
|
The old bridge
creaking
under the carts full of hay
|
md |
|
|
All of a sudden
over the burnt stubble field
the harvest moon
|
vm |
|
|
Birds without a
nest
through smoke circles
|
md |
|
|
A helicopter
is stirring up the sky -
winter manoeuvres
|
vm |
|
|
Over twin
branches
the swirl of snowflakes
|
md |
|
|
The whole
forest
in a corner room:
Christmas Tree
|
vm |
|
|
By the fireside
still telling the same old story
|
md |

There's snow
and there's rain
just like our childhood
first spring days
|
md |
|
|
A bunch of
catkins…
mother's warm smile
|
vm |
|
|
Ruined tower -
the stork pair
move their nest
|
md |
|
|
Over the fallow
field
seeds of the wind
|
vm |
|
|
Rain clouds...
above the meadow clover
silver lightning
|
md |
|
|
Trails left
by a snail
furrow the meadow
|
vm |
|
|
Haystacks
-
within the halo of the moon
fireflies
|
md |
|
|
The orchard
alight
with golden apples
|
vm |
|
|
Soothing
her yearning
a ladybird flies towards
the man of her destiny
|
md |
|
|
An open palm:
the path of love
|
vm |
|
|
A breath of
wind -
the signal for the swallows'
departure
|
md |
|
|
The scarecrow
keeps watch
over the harvest
|
vm |

Break time
on the field:
beneath the plough's coulter
antique vestiges
|
md |
|
|
Silken veils
everywhere -
the first white hoarfrost
|
vm |
|
|
A fierce fight
with snowballs -
love all
|
md |
|
|
Pacing from
camp to camp
the carol singers
|
vm |
|
|
Bright as
day
above the birds' canteen*
winter moon
|
md |
|
|
Dandelion
down
on the wings of the wind
|
vm |
|
|
*Birds' canteen:
a wooden contraption holding food for birds in winter
