Free Swedish Haiku III.
by Iréne Carlsson
The buzz of the fly
drowns
in Vivaldi’s Autumn
Flugans surr
drunknar
i Vivaldis Höst
Far into the woods
you can hear the chime
of the ice-cream truck
Långt in i skogen
tar sig melodislingan
från glassbilen
Swedish version of “Far into the woods” first published at Haikuverkstaden
