jar of spice
the first sunbeam
of the new year

icy spider webs
the long way
to the stars

harvest moon
crows gather
on a abandouned house

barattolo di spezie
il primo raggio di sole
del nuovo anno

ragnatele di ghiaccio
la lunga strada
per le stelle

luna del raccolto
i corvi si radunano
su una casa abbandonata

the glare of the rainbow
after rain

finestra aperta
il bagliore dell’arcobaleno

snowfall
a maple leaf clings
to its branch

nevicata
una foglia d’acero si aggrappa
al suo ramo

death anniversary
those black clouds again
behind the window
( in memory of
Rachel Sutcliffe)

first day of work
a flight of butterflies
in my belly

abandoned house
the ivy leaves wrap
even the moon

anniversario di morte
di nuovo quelle nuvole nere
dietro la finestra

( in memoria di
Rachel Sutcliffe)

primo giorno di lavoro
un volo di farfalle
nella mia pancia

casa abbandonata
le foglie d’edera avvolgono
anche la luna

middle-aged woman
telling to the moon
about her dreams
~
folded handkerchief
her old memories
in a drawer
~
the mother’s face
so many secrets
in every wrinkle
~
solitude…
she stands alone
with her cellphone
~
dreamland…
my small feet
in her wedding shoes
~
Monna Lisa’s painting
time flows
through her eyes
~~~
donna di mezza età
raccontando alla luna
sui suoi sogni
~
fazzoletto ripiegato
i suoi vecchi ricordi
in un cassetto
~
il viso della madre
tanti segreti
in ogni ruga
~
solitudine…
lei sta da sola
con il suo cellulare
~
mondo dei sogni…
i miei piccoli piedi
nelle sue scarpe da sposa
~
Il dipinto di Monna Lisa
il tempo scorre
attraverso i suoi occhi

The latest issue of Blithe Spirit (31.1) is here. Thank you very much to editor, Caroline Skanne to selecting two poems of mine. Congratulations everyone.

milk and honey
the clear light
of a winter morning

frozen meadow
on each blade of grass
a tiny snowflake

latte e miele
la luce chiara
di una mattina d’inverno

prato ghiacciato
un minuscolo fiocco di neve
su ogni filo d’erba

new buds
a jasmine note
in my tea
(Stardust, March 2021)

warm day
grandma still knits
a wool scarf
(Brass Bell, March 2021)

nuovi germogli
una nota di gelsomino
nel mio tè

giornata calda
la nonna lavora ancora a maglia
una sciarpa di lana
