new year's eve

the clatter of hangers 

in a lingerie store

Sylwester

pobrzękują wieszaki

w sklepie z bielizną

sunny morn

the ice swimmer's arm

full of tattoos

słoneczny ranek

na ramieniu morsa

bezkres tatuaży

 

The Earth Museum in Warsaw. 

I am pleased to curate the exhibition 

of contemporary haiga "frosty moon today"

consisting of 45 photographs by Leszek Wesołowski

and 45 verses by poets from

the Polish Haiku Association.

All haiku were published in the Japanese

classical haiku magazine KUZU.

frosty  moon today

only the shadows of branches

thinner and thinner

mroźny dziś księżyc

tylko cienie gałęzi

coraz cieńsze

 Ask not what the Polish Haiku Association can do for you, 

ask what you can do for the Association.

I am happy to receive the Medal of Merit

of the Polish Haiku Association, 

 and Robert Kania, the Association's Treasuer.
