Cristina Moldoveanu, RO

 

 

Haiku   lightning through fog— the trace of a snail on the ruined wall     the old cemetery— gravestones with wiped out names shoulder to shoulder     deserted house— vines avoid the cross printed on the wall     lightning in the night— a white cherry tree brightens the old ruined wall     broken bridge— two white pigeons fly against the wind     nettle flowers— too many butterflies near the cobweb     morning glow— three lilies-of-the valley on the glass icon     silence at noon— butterfly wings clasped on the clover     frozen lake— among willow trees crow's voices     cracks in the ground— an old handkerchief in the widow's fist   bindweeds in the wind— on the dusty table some old letters     quiet sunset— stairways of light around the steeple     deserted courtyard— creeping bindweeds grasp the well's wheel     full moon on the white sugar bowl a night butterfly     waves at sunset— motionless windmills under heavy clouds     leafless poplars— an old man climbing the shadows     broken bridge— only the moonlight builds a road between shores     abandoned fields— I quickly hide a chrysanthemum     About Cristina Moldoveanu, RO   Cristina-Monica Moldoveanu was born in Bucharest in 1971. She wrote her first poems in primary school and was dreaming of becoming a writer one day because she needed to express her deep love for natural phenomenons and different forms of life. At the age of 36 she started writing poetry but in 2010 she discovered haiku poets on the internet and found their work very attractive and matching her feelings and understanding of the world. She joined a Romanian group for discussing and writing haiku and since March 2010 she writes haiku and other poems on literary sites.
