gathering the pieces

raccogliendo i pezzi

walking barefoot
above the hills

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

the sound of the sea

 

Acquario…
una tartaruga ricorda ancora
il suono del mare

sussurrano i suoi segreti

Eufemia Griffo

The exact equivalent of the traditional seventh day of the seventh month in the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year, but it usually occurs in August. In many communities, however, tanabata celebrants steadfastly adhere to the auspicious pair of sevens date. Milanese poet Eufemia Griffo eyes Bellatrix, the third brightest star in the Orion constellation. The blue star forms the giant’s shoulder and its Latin name means a female warrior.

(Professor David McMurray, ASAHI HAIKUIST NETWORK – July 7)

And finally… tree poems of mine featured in Failed Haiku edited by Mike Rehling. Lovely day, I’m very glad and proud of my writing.
In general, I think poetry and writing are our voice and describe the feelings, the nature and things that move around us. They are also sacrifice and study. 
Congratulations to all poets featured in this new number.
