the clock's ticking ~
winter evening

After deep meditations and helped by Valeria, I found the solution for the haiku previously posted on b_oki journal: I choose for the one line...

~ winter entangled in barbed wire a white feather ~

I don't think they live far from the bar. She can't walk properly and it looks like she may have Down's Syndrome. Her father is always by her side. They always stop and sit down at the small table outside the bar but never enter. He is old, aged by years and suffering. Each time, he tries to have a conversation with her. He talks about T.V programs, the changing weather and other stuff... she always responds briefly with a "yes", "no" or "I don't know."

Then, he starts to sing a song: every day a different one.
 


singing softly,
he tries to understand...
this autumn wind

Chrysanthemum#6 is out now with my haibun "Phone call from Manchester" (andreochka.livejournal.com/39963.html) and haiku: andreochka.livejournal.com/41073.html (as you see, both previously posted on LJ).

The event of my summer...

Dietmar Tauchner is one of my favourite european haijins. Born in Austria, he is a well-known european author and editor of Chrysanthemum magazine (members.aon.at/bregen/). Along with Christine (his girlfriend) came to visit us here in Udine. I have not many opportunities to speak in English here in Italy and must admit that I felt a bit embarassed at first, but to my surprise, the conversation became fluent after a short time!





Togheter, we started a renku (or something like that).

slow walk...
different accents
of our English

A Chapel full of thanksgiving,
friends lead us
through a nice day
