is that

                   harder

                   than it sounds

the melted

North Pole

                   following the light

falling

here?

 
                    in a dark world

er det

                     sværere

still

                     when it's all

the shadow

                     dust

of

a stone

                     it's yours

stadig

                     når alt

skyggen

                     er støv

af

en sten

                     er det dit

disproving

nothing

                    not the vapours

                    on the left hand

                    (that Hiawatha saw)

                     snowmen's ghosts

modbeviser

ingenting

                          ikke dampene

                          på venstre hånd

termometeret

viser

                          kun tåge

0

                          snemænds ånder

Update

For what it's worth, my page in the Living Haiku Anthology's database (the world's largest I'm told; a wonderful task undertaken by Don Baird and Hansha Teki) has been updated with what I have had published in various journals in 2014 and -15. As I rarely submit anything to haiku journals the entries aren't that many, but do take a look if you're interested:

almost as dark

as it gets

                            for entertainment's sake

the sound

of the wind

                            they stretched

                            the dwarf

is the sound

there is

                            from Twin Peaks

næsten så mørkt

som det bli'r

                                for underholdningens skyld

lyden

af vinden

                                 har de forlænget

                                 dværgen

er den lyd

der er

                                 fra Twin Peaks

salt?

                      defined by my actions?

aye

for sprinkling

over

                      I rubbed my eyes

the snow bird

                      twice today

salt?

                      bestemt af mine handlinger?

ja

til at drysse

stuck

in the cloud

of unhearing

                       instead of the green

La Traviata

                       the yellow

becomes

hypothetical

                       and dead

La Traviata

                     de gule

hypotetisk

                     og døde
