Forgetting (haiku by Sasa Vazic)

“My daughter who left for Milan last year to live there with her husband and whom I refer to in many of my poems as a bluebird, visited me. I love her dearly and don’t find it easy to live without her near me. So, I felt she had never gone and that there was no reason for my pain and sorrow. But, very soon, she “flew away” like cherry blossoms that leave their trees that gave them life and nourished them.”
forgetting
we’ll soon have to part –

Spring Fever (haiku by Sasa Vazic)

“Spring has come and I can feel its reaches making me shiver. As many cherry trees are blooming all around in my neighborhood, I am reminded of my beloved cherry tree in a yard in front of the house I used to live in as a child. I was but 7 years old when my parents moved to another town, but I have never forgotten that special cherry tree I used to pick fruits from during the big breaks between the lessons.”
