Haiku
Winter sun
nesting in a bare crown
of an old linden
The rain ceased
raindrops flow
down bare boughs
Leaves dying
under the crown
of an old linden
Tired
moonlight
paused for a moment
at the linden's top
On the horizon
bare poplars waving
Call of the homeland
On the house's
wall
a stormy wind breaking
bare linden shadows
Transparent
night
In the poplar-tree crown
vesper of autumn
Cold in
the air
Autumn lazily climbs
the bare trees
A flash of
lightening—
the crack of dry branches
fills the air
Dusk
falls—
Close to the horizon
the pines outlined
Let Us
Pray: Free
Verse: Be my Light
