Haiku
in Serbian by Ivan
Kolarić, Užice, Serbia & Montenegro
Translation:

Fluttering
and waving
a white wedding dress
and drunken guests |
лепршају
и лелујају
бела венчаница
и пијани сватови |
| * * * |
Misty forest –
white hands are plucking
hawthorn berries |
измаглица –
нежне руке беру
глогиње
у шуми
|
| * * * |
Twilight –
a mischievous boy
collecting
glow-worms |
предвечерје –
враголан
сакупља свице
|
| * * * |
Under a wing
the white duckling is warming
its yellow beak |
испод крила
бело паче греје
жути
кљун
|
| * * * |
snow falls outside –
granny's loom is
weaving
my boyhood dreams |
напољу снежи –
бакин разбој тка
моје
дечачке снове
