Thaws

at last-

so fine the mornings

thaws

...........................

in harmony

warm blue sky

birdsong

...................

looking with awe

first green buds

miniature

......................

sad sigh

similar to a prayer

dry leaves.

roses in my garden

.............................

roses

in full bloom

stunning

Sunset

............

at sunset

lake is silvering with

emeralds

End of the winter

white clouds

so similar on

heaps of snow

..............................

end of winter -

dog with white hood

smiling peacefully

...........................

spring sun

snow yet remembers songs

from past

sunny place in March

in a sunny corner

warm to touch

early greens

................................

equinox

on sunny places

the first greens

....................................

crimson sunrise

still in hibernation

March cold

Spring flowers

snow melting

i try to imagine

first snowdrops

.....................

vernal equinox . . .

welcoming sun

snow again

.....................

spring's equinox

amid blowing snow

sprouts of snowdrop

....................

spring equinox -

yet it is cold

crow pensive

Cold breath

Sometime icicles like the bones of a fish................

March's night
cold breath
of northen wind

......

now and then

cold breath

of northen wind

Birds

its expectations
to be noticed

Thaw

...
March cold
icicles of spring day
freeze tears
.....
March cold
refracted light
on icicles
..........
spring thaw
through sunlight
on icicles
.........
thaw in March
naked branches of birches
iced over
.........
cold morning
sound of crow bounces off
the icicles

March

March day
the cat adds a phrase
in his song
.....................
March
in mind the list of desires
wind of changes
.........................
the spring sun
together with me
to the warming
..................
the spring sun . . .
the frozen shadow
grows smaller
...............
fresh forces
gives for new day -
snowdrop in snow

New haiku

today,
today all and everywhere
smells in the spring
...................
under the full moon
work at night
smells as the moon
.....................
loneliness!
only cracks in rocks
going deep
....................
rainbow from stars -
among snow feather-beds
solar ray
................
sunrise
greet with a smile
the newborn

New haiku

sounds
sweats runs down
my back
...........
the moon
watching the darkness
among trees
.............
moonflower
as it trembles
through pines
..............
empty room
only trembles on wall
pine's shadow
..........
moutains with snow
moutains without snow
all the same moutains

When we open our hearts and observe nature,nature speaks with us
............
matter taste-
to hear in winter wind
song bird

lake and lake
shattered into thousand pieces
blue mirrow
.......
Did you know that in the Karelia we have thousands lakes-small and great among green forest and bogs. I like water travel

Happiness

happiness
again the spring
smell of cherries
...............
happiness of
earthly delights-
art of haiku
.............
happiness
if is in the man
service goodness
............
happiness-
long path from
birth to death
............
happiness
voice on the phone
from far away

Haiku

corner of the universe
where dead silent
only bats
...................
looking up to
the smiling sky
taste summer!
..................
moment of experience
a hot potatoes
burn my fingers
...............
rainy season
constant drops
in my garden
.................
my homeland
earth filled with
green forest and lakes

New haiku (2012)

morning
all waves in white
sand beach
..............
high tide
the sea enters
the river’s mouth
............
autumn wind
birds and butterfly
drowsy eyes
..................
silence of waves
the night looking for
enlightenment
...............
beach
every grain of sand
no similar

wind-howls
in empty home
on both sides
............
on window
of frozen breathing
mirages
..............
darkened
in an empty room
moon-ghost
............
in an empty room
through curtains ajar
moon-ghost
............
reluctantly
hidden in a cloud of haze
the night retreats

New haiku. December

cold dawn
weary throught
close by
.............
blizzard and
whistling wind
keep company
.............
napping in
early winter twilight
snow on the hill
...............
the moon in clouds
the stone of buddha
gentle smile
...........
morning sun
welcome a porcelain cup
while I am sleeping
