Ilse Jacobson: Immersing into the Colours

moonlight -
immersing into the colours
of night

in the midst
of our silence
cherry blossom wind

Too late -
in the falling snow
his shadow

Ingo Cesaro: Independent Author

Looking in vain for

blossoms of magnolia –

among the branches.

A feather in my

hand left behind from the bird.

I can see the wind.

No empty seats left

but autumn grants us fog-banks –

outside the chapel.

Ingo Cesaro, independent author, living in Kronach. More than eighty releases in haiku-style. One hundred publishings of bibliophile editions and international anthologies in haiku-style, partly with original artworks. Sponsorship by the German Haiku Society, member amongst others in German-Swiss P.E.N. and German Haiku Society.

Gert W. Knop: Author and Graphic Artist

last days of summer

leaves are dancing in the sun

a pair of ducks hide

quite after midnight

time disappears in silence

suddenly thunder

the song of a lark
so very slowly fading
after summer rain
