The Australian Haiku Society welcomes contributions from haiku poets worldwide to the Autumn Equinox Haiku String.

We will be holding this Haiku String during the day of the Southern Hemisphere Autumn Equinox, occurring in Australia this year on Saturday, 20th March, 2021. The String will remain open for contributions until Sunday 28th March to accommodate international poets who may wish to take part.

The Haiku String has now closed. Thank you to all the poets and please enjoy the contributions.

  2. Rain spills
    memories on
    the trails youth.

    Kiša razliva
    sjećanja puteljcima
    mladosti.

    On meadows and
    foresters childhood
    rolls the past.

    Livadama i
    šumarcima djetinjstvo
    kotrlja prošlost.
    *
    On the face
    knited scratches,
    the screech of fiery time.

    Na obrazu
    zapletene ogrebotine,
    krik ognjenog vremena.

    …p.s … maybe the translation isn’t good, but I don’t know English better, maybe there’s someone to fix it

    1. I see in your eyes
      the beautiful lake
      that got polluted

      spent oak leaf
      so slowly falling…
      grief has no words

      It’s your decision:
      drown yourself in the puddle
      I have stepped over

    Autumn Journey of Life Haikus

    Walking in forests’
    winding paths of red gold leaves.
    ‘Neath each step, a cry.

    Yesterday, I climbed
    the moon. She smiled full and low,
    so I kissed her cheeks,
    sighed.

    Do you wonder where
    stars go when you close your eyes?
    blink by lblink they die.

  8. Autumn scintillates
    Gentle light fills our moments
    Eternity known

    Autumn invites thought
    Going deep into ourselves
    Eternity speaks

    Autumn’s blushing joys
    Speak of colourful endings
    Eternity lives
