Haiku in Slovenian by Silva Mizerit, Domžale, Slovenia Translation: author
spring morning early birds are pecking the thin silence	pomladno jutro zgodnje ptice zobljejo tanko tišino
* * *
the first sprouts in spring sunshine still without shadows	prvi brsti v pomladnem soncu še brez sence
* * *
restless branches a red balloon in the air I see the wind	nemirne veje v zraku rdeč balon vidim veter
