Zeche Zollverein is a former coal mine -- today Zollverein is a place for exhibitions, concerts and many other activities



salt harvest --
the farmer points to
dark clouds

(Mainichi, 2006)



spring wind --
seagulls watching
dockers lunch

(clouds peak, 2006)



sunrise
a swan drinks
color

(Mainichi, 2005)





overcast
old men queuing
for their lunch

(Asahi, 2005)




the snow melts --
stones return
into my garden

(Mainichi, 2004)




daffodils
brought to daffodils
in the chapel

(Asahi, 2004)





hot night
next door
the blues

(Asahi, 2003)

  7. Strong work. I'm glad I ran across your link (comment at Jerry Dreesens' blog). See how close the international haiku community is? -- all connected by the internet. I'll be back.

    Thank you,

  9. Enjoyed the photo, and the haiku.

    I didn't know about the salt harvest, so thanks for that!

    Your lunch haiku reminded me of mine:

    warm day ...
    the workman lunches
    in his wheelbarrow


    Snapshot Calendar 2005


    And your micro-haiku...

    hot night
    next door
    the blues



    ,,, is stunning!

    Few minimalist or longer haiku carry so much weight as this, absolutely brilliant!
