Mrs Bozena Zernec was born in 1943 in Zutnica nearby Krapina
in the County of Hrvatsko Zagorje. Up to her 15th year she lived
in the environment unaware of living haiku; in a house one pace
from the forest, with her feet in a brook and butterflies in
her hair. She often visited the beautiful lake and a castle in
Trakoscan nearby. Educated in fine arts she becomes acquainted
with ikebana, the reason for her visit to Japan. She worked as
a textile and fashion designer, and is now retired. She now makes
traditional souvernirs for which she has received invaluable
commendments. In year 2005. she published a billingual collection
of haiku poetry GLE! /LOOK! She also writes poetry and texts
for the songs. Mrs. Zernec is a memeber of The Association of
the Croatian Haiku Poets in Zagreb and Visual Arts Association
"Ernest Tomasevic" in Krapina. She participates often
in cultural life of town Krapina.

Sprzena trava, Burnt
grass,
Krapincica do gleznja,
Krapincica* up to the ankles
izronilo kamenje stones
diving out
U moru magle In
the sea of fog
crkvice - svjetionici
the
churches - lighthouses
pokazuu put directing
the way
Lijeno se Lazily
ispruzio stari djedov streching
out that old
otoman grandpa's
couch
Procvao jutros Blooming
this morning
na listu lopoca on
the leaf of the lotus
pjegavi zabac a
spotted frog
U kristalnoj In
a crystal
vazi stol i vase
a table and
stolice the
chairs
Iz cadjavog From
a sooty
dimnjaka izronio chimney
diving out
sjajni Mjesec the
shiny Moon
Slozno u zelenoj The
green peas
zipkici odrastaju growing
harmoniously
zrna graska in
their cradle
Samo trava cuje The
grass only
njeznu zvonjavu hears
the gentle ringing
djurdjica lilies
of the valley
Cuvarkuca na Houseleek
krovu razorenog doma
on the wrecked home's roof
ceka povratnike awaits
return of fled owners
Srebrni trag A
silvery track
blijesti u travi - pojedena
shining in the grass - eaten
bakina salata granny's
lettuce
