office windows
the melancholic notes
of a street musician

A great exception to avoiding adverbs, wonderfully done!

(Alan Summers)

 

ventanas de oficina
las notas melancólicas
de un músico callejero

Haiku in Workplace, September 13

work stress…
running out of
the best days

Eufemia Griffo

after failure…
packing up my dreams
in an old box

conference call
a heated discussion
on climate change

work from home …
Madame Butterfly’s high notes
 keep me awake

lavoro da casa …
le note della Madonna Butterfly
per tenermi sveglio

pranzo veloce
immaginando gli spaghetti

One haiku of mine selected from Jim Kacian for The haiku in workplace, July 26th. The theme’s: Summer Vacation Plans.

finally summer vacation…
walking barefoot
above the hills

finalmente le vacanze estive …
camminando a piedi nudi
sopra le colline

fired . . .
only speck of dust
on the desk

licenziato…
solo un granello di polvere
sulla scrivania

secret love . . .
I watch him on the elevator
with lowered eyes

amore segreto…
lo guardo nell’ascensore
con gli occhi abbassati
