Haiku World of Patricia Lidia in Romania

  

Patricia Lidia in Romania kindly contributed New Year’s card and her haiku to International Haiku New Year’s Festival 2011.

 

 

 

fairytales 　　　　　　　　　　          おとぎ話を聞く 

in front of the stove – 　　　　   ストーブの前で　

childhood memories 　　　　　  子供の頃の思い出

 

 

on a rabbit’s back 　　　　　　　　　兎の背に乗って

hopping in New Year – 　　　　　 新年に跳んでいる

new resolutions 　　　　　　　　　　 新しい抱負が　

 

 

Patricia Lidia has her haiku blog, in which she kindly translated my haiku into Romanian: http://patricialidia.wordpress.com/ .

 

Haiku scrise de Hidenori Hiruta　（蛭田秀法）
Haiku written by Hidenori Hiruta（蛭田秀法）

Haiku despre iarna/Haiku about winter

Haiku despre iarnă / Winter Haiku

La poalele muntelui Taihei, Akita/At the foot of Mt. Taihei, Akita

 

冬日差し山気緩むや太平山

The winter sun
breaks ―
Mt. Taihei

 

Soarele iernii
se sfărâmă în bucăţi –
Muntele Taihei

 

 

 

竹林の老ひし熊見る永遠の夢

The old bear
dreams of eternity
a bamboo grove

 

Ursul cel bătrân
visează-ntotdeauna
dumbrăvi de bambus

 

 

雪の中琵琶の音凍へ静寂へと

In the snow
too cold for the lute
into silence

 

În zăpadă e
prea frig pentru lăuta
ce stă tăcută

 

  

 

Here are some of Patricia Lidia’s latest works with some of photos, inspired by her birth city:

 

at vespers –　　　　　　　　　　　　

crooked crosses on the hill,　　　　

bird nests 　　　　　　　　　　　　

 

夕べの祈り ―

曲がった十字架

鳥の巣

 

 

heavy hat
on grandparents’ house –
frozen snow

 

重い帽子

祖父母の家の上 ―

凍った雪

 

 

 

shooting star –
searching through the snowdrifts,
only fireworks

 

流れ星 ―

風に吹かれる雪を通して探す

花火だけを

 

 

 

drizzle –
beggar’s palm
full of leaves

 

霧雨 ―

乞食の手のひら

葉で一杯

 

 

yawning in class –
playing hopscotch on the pavement
only the chestnuts

 

クラスでは欠伸 ―

舗道では石けり遊び

ただ栗だけ

 

 

 

cold drops of rain –
among boats and rubbish,
the last lily

 

冷たい雨滴 ―

舟とくずの間に

最後の百合

 

 

insomnia again –
neighbor singing all the time
the same song

 

また眠れない ―

隣人がずっと歌っている

同じ歌を

 

 

lonely neighbor –
old songs on harpsichord
and the rain

 

孤独な隣人 ―

チェンバロで古い歌

そして雨

 

hail falling
through the old roof –
lights and shadows

 

霰が降る

古い屋根を通って ―

光と影

 

 

a cup of tea
and an open book –
stars at the window

 

一杯のお茶

そして開かれた本 ―

窓には星

I sincerely hope that you will stay and have a good time in the beauties and wonders of Patricia Lidia’s haiku world.
