winter morning–
remains of a candle inside
the snowball lantern

My name is JÖRGEN JOHANSSON, living in Lidköping, Sweden, and I'm a member of the on-line CHERRY POETRY CLUB. I wrote my first haiku in April, 2001, and started, of course, to write in my native language, publishing a couple of haiku "pamphlets" on my own RIVER MAN publ. co. In March of 2003 I wrote my first haiku in English, and haven't looked back since; i now write DIRECTLY into English.

Hello Jorgen
I love the idea of the candle lantern. If only we had enough snow to make them!
a kiss
her heartbeats * * *
cold rain falls on the windshield

dance of the greenery
bedroom window outline …
it’s to rain all night

warm whispers ~
in the store room
not for the last time
Enjoyed! I like the idea and would try to amuse my grandaughter but have difficulty picturing the shape. Is it actually standard latern shape?
Cleveland, Ohio 5 inches snow forecast for this morning. I’ll make something anyway.
Beautiful, Jorgen!! I’m so proud of you!!

i love your haiku, congratulations -from john.
mine to complement yours;
the spa entrance
always lonely
look
winter boardwalk
a patch of ice reflects the sun
The lit courtyard-
in a hand of the snowman
a small shaped lantern
winter dawn …
summer reminiscence
held during the night

very, very nice! a compliment below
from soon to be snowy michigan.
winter evening…
fresh fallen snow
lightens the sky
wintry midnight –
upright shadow
walks the hallway
