6 haiku
il sole a picco —
polveroso silenzio
sui girasoli
blazing sun — / dusty silence / on sunflowers
Anna Maria Domburg
…
chini col peso
di troppi gonfi semi —
i girasoli
bent by the weight / of too swollen seeds — / sunflowers
Maurizio Petruccioli
…
fruscio di steli —
girasoli nel campo
alti alla luce
stems swish — / sunflowers in the field / hight in the light
Oscar Luparia
…
luna d’agosto —
le prime foglie secche
del girasole
august moon — / first dried leaves / of the sunflowers
Angiola Inglese
…
lunga la notte —
sui girasoli negri
lucciole sparse
long is the night — / on burnt sunflowers / shed fireflies
Caterina Sale
…
pioggia all’aurora :
un girasole dorme
e sogna il sole
rain at sunrise : a sunflower sleeps / and dreams the sun
