teeny tiny haiku collection:
ne söylenmeli
ilk kovana koşmaktan
yorgun çocuğa
(what should be said to/ the child, ever so tired from/ running towards first hive)
_______________________
serin yağmurun
sesine muhtaç kalmış
kiraz ağacı
(how deeply the cherry tree/ yearns and longs for the sound/ of the cool spring rain)
_______________________
tuza yansımış
erimiş altın damla,
güneş yanığı
(molten golden drop/ takes the form of a sunburn/ reflected on salt)
-stella
