alpine lake
an artist paints
his melancholy
Eufemia Griffo
piccoli fiocchi di neve
le parole giuste
per dire addio
tiny snowflakes
the right words
to say farewell
cielo invernale
una stella solitaria attraversa
la via Lattea
winter sky
a lonely star crosses
Milky Way
mille lucciole
le fate dei boschi giocano
a nascondino
a thousand fireflies
the woods fairies play
hide and seek
Giorno della Memoria
International Holocaust Remembrance Day

diario di guerra
quando nessuno di noi
guardava le stelle
war diary
when none of us
looked the stars
cenere nera
tutte quelle stelle nascoste
nell’oscurità
black ash
all those hidden stars
in the darkness
pagine vuote
le ultime parole di Anna
portate via dal vento
empty pages
Anne’s last words
carried off by the wind
filo spinato
in primavera le rose
raggiungono ancora il cielo
barbed wire
in spring the roses
reach the sky again
petali caduti
il modo in cui lasciamo andare
la nostra vita
fallen petals
the way we left
our life
Eufemia Griffo

To Rachel
small poems
the way our lives
intertwined
twinkle of stars
your new path
brighter
sunrise…
this empty day
without your words
piccole poesie
il modo in cui le nostre vite
si sono intrecciate
scintillio di stelle
il tuo nuovo sentiero
più luminoso
alba…
questo giorno vuoto
senza le tue parole

so far way

fine dell’anno
i vecchi ricordi coperti
di neve
year’s end
old memories covered
in snow
solitudine invernale
un cigno guarda
il primo fiocco di neve
winter solitude
a swan watches
first snowflake
Natale passato
il tempo si è fermato
in un globo di neve
Christmas past
time stopped
in a snow globe
oche migratrici
anche gli alberi
stanno cambiando i colori
migrating geese
the trees too
are changing colours
campana tibetana
il suono della neve
prima di cadere
singing bowl
the sound of snow
before falling
fiori di gelso
un manto di neve
culla il loro sonno
mulberry flowers
sleep cradled in
a blanket of snow
cielo invernale
anche le stelle diventano
più bianche
winter sky
even the stars turn
whiter
ricordi fugaci
un altro giro
di un vecchio nastro
fugitive memories
another turn
of an old ribbon
antiche zampogne
un vecchio attende ancora
il ritorno dei Re Magi
ancient bagpipes
the old man still awaits
three Wise Men
Via della Seta
senza le stelle
vaghiamo invano
Silk Road
without the stars
we wander in vain
~
Eufemia Griffo
Thank you so much to editor Michael Rehling for this great work and congratulations to all poets featured.
These are my five poems:
year’s end
a migrant seeks a refuge
among his memories
winter is coming
the farewell march
of ants
disappearing
into a bowl of sake
my face as a child
winter temple
between Buddha’s hands
a snowflake
dissolved mist
the thin shape
of my wishes
~
Eufemia Griffo
cemetery garden
the endless sleep
of leaves

il sonno infinito
delle foglie

The opening line sets the scene and seasonal context while the unexpected yet thematically and emotionally significant last line elevates the haiku to a philosophical/contemplative level, sparking the reader’s reflection on (the circle of)life and death.
