affection

pomladni veter
ob potočku belina
prvih kronic

perhaps another word is needed here. the flower in the photo is the spring vriety of snowflake (oh, yes, i had to look it up, too :)) and is not the same as snowdrop. given the almost snowless winter that we had and the fact they emerged earlier than usual i thought its name was quite appropriate for this haiga

skoraj pomlad
raca zareže skozi
tekoč sončni zahod

dežne kaplje
krokusa se naslonita
drug ob drugega

vrzel v oblakih
sonce se zvrne v ribnik
brez vsakih valov

sunek vetra
čebela se skrije
v preprogi žafrana

evolution

dan se končuje
prameni oblakov
še držijo svetlobo

hang in

suh list ovije
sončno svetlobo
zima se končuje

ni še pomlad
labodji puh se dotakne
gladine ribnika

nizki oblaki
klic kanje odmeva
čez podrto drevo

februarski veter
čaplja
nepremična

not much of a shot, i'm sorry, but i just got home and couldn't resist posting this



zgodnja pomlad
kos zapoje
ob mraku

busy

i don't think i'll have much time for blogging in the following couple of days, but you're welcome to check out the new issue of simply haiku for some more stuff by yours truly (see the modern haiga section) :)

up, up and away

megla se umika
dve ptici zdrsita
v košček modrine

oblaki se trgajo
za vrano se pojavi
bleda senca

obraze nastavijo
zimskemu dežju
vrbine mačice

zimski zahod
čapljin obris izgine
v rožnatih oblakih

alien land

oblaki se umikajo
sončnemu zahodu...
umolkne ptica

fishes

mrko nebo
šojin klic odmeva
iz goščave

odsevi
zabrisani z valčki...
zimski dež

it's been raining here most of the day. however, i'm not in the mood for posting rain photos as today, other than being mum's 70th birthday (which of course is significant enough, but that's family business and won't be discussed here), rounds the first year of my blogging.
on top of that, it's the eve of the culture day, a holiday in slovenia. we're a morbid bunch, are slovenes. rather than glorious achievements we celebrate a poet's death. but that's not what this post is about either.
what i wanted to say is, i've enjoyed this year in the blogland. when i started blogging i had no idea where it would take me. now i can say i've (re)discovered my love of photography and poetry, participated in a few interesting ventures, met (albeit virtually) some wonderful people, learned many new things... all in all, it's been an overwhelming experience.
i don't know how much longer i'll be enjoying blogging but as long as i do the posts will keep coming.
thank you all who have ever stopped by any of my blogs (whether or not you've left a comment), and especially to the regular readers - your presence has done much to make all the effort worthwhile.

happy birthday, mum!

na robu gozda
krokus odpre svoj cvet
zimskemu soncu

čakam tvoj klic
sraka se dere
z vrha drevesa

liquid gold

poznozimski vetrič

praprot zaniha v senco

in iz nje

prijateljeva
ljubezenska afera
v zgodnjem februarju
se čebele pasejo
na leskinih kačicah*

the slovene version is in a form of tanka as it is impossible to translate it in a more concise manner and preserve the meaning

blanket

njegov glas prek telefona
kondenzacijske sledi križajo
nebo ob zahodu

to everyone:

thank you for all your support expressed in the comments to the previous post. you guys are the best audience i could have possibly wished for. i feel much better now.
could have only been the full moon. or the hormones. or something a friend of mine, who also had a few 'down' days, said: we feel each other. who knows...
anyhowl, i still think i need a few days off :)

some days...

...feel bleaker than others...


all's well, really, it's just... the whole week's been somewhat hectic, leaving me with not much time for the things i enjoy, and it ain't over yet. saturday promises to be another such day.

cul de sac

a crow descends to pick

a fallen nut

še moker
od jutranje megle
list trepeta
kot bi se hotel
vrniti k drevesu
