Tanka: Autumn Turns

two whippets in black jackets running on the beach
two whippets running on the beach in the sunshine


autumn turns –
our old dogs run as fast
as the sun
bursts through forbidding clouds
changing the day forever

I am delighted to contribute one haiku (in Dutch) to the Haiku-kantelkalender 2022. The calendar features fifty-two haiku by poets from Belgium and The Netherlands and is available from Haiku-centrum Vlaanderen. A very big thank you to Régine Dendooven and the team for including my poem and putting this beautiful calendar together.

  8. Xenia, I didn’t realize you ran two blogs. Wow! I don’t know how you keep it all up! 🙂 Anyway, Biasini is recommending this blog as well. I want to spend some time exploring your blogs. I’m so glad that Biasini gave you a shout out. 🙂
