Djurdja Vukelić Rožić
Ivanić Grad, Croatia

u vlaku starac
na koljenima drži
svoj trbuščić

old man in the train
keeps on his knee
a tummy

proljetno sunce
skakuće po lokvama
uz željezničku prugu

the spring sun
jumping among puddles
by the railway

kasni mraz -
bespomoćna ljepota
rascvalih voćki

late frost -
helpless beauty of
orchard in the bloom

Tomislav Ž. Vujčić
Veliko Laole, Serbia & Montenegro

tamna noć
munja mi pokazuje
put prema kući

dark night
lightening shows me
the way home

Winter night
I saw two moons -
one in the clear river

zimska noć
gledam dva meseca -
jedan u reci

cvetna livada -
na neeksplodiranoj bombi
sunča se gušter

flowery meadow -
on an unexploded bomb
lizard sunbathing

(* Ko - first of three best haiku for 2003.)

Stjepan Rožić
Ivanić Grad, Croatia

crna ploča noći
čeka ispisivanje
ljetnih zvukova

blackboard of the night
waiting for the summer sounds
to be written down

spretno vijuga
kroz uporni lavež psa
pjesma slavuja

swiftly swerving
through persistent bark of the dog
a song of the nightingale

Bogoljub T. Mihajlović
Niš, Serbia & Montenegro

u mom selu
trešnje cvetaju -
prolećni oblaci

in my village
the cherries are in bloom -
spring clouds

sumoran dan
konji na pojilu piju
i letnje oblake

Stuffy day
horses on the watering place
drink summer clouds

Jadran Zalokar
Rijeka, Croatia

ispod šešira
ipak
užareno nebo

under the hat
however
burning sky

crno-bijeli mačak
traži svoju sjenu
medju automobilima

black-white cat
searches its shadow
between cars
