Akita International Haiku Network

 

On October 28, 2011, I received an e-mail from Mr. Ramesh Anand in Malaysia as follows.

 

Hello Mr, Hidenori Hiruta,

  

 I have been writing Haiku in English with the moments I capture from the nature of Malaysia. I would like to share some of my published haiku ( 15 Pieces ) with Akita International Haiku Network for your consideration to review and publish, the ones you like, with Japanese translation.

 

 

 

Here is a brief bio.

winter twilight –
homing mynahs
over my backstroke 

 

冬の薄明かり ―

巣に帰るマイナたち

背泳ぎの向こうに

a manakin moonwalks
on the putting green

マイコドリの月面歩行

グリーンの上を

 

 

sunset chills
… the waves rolling towards
her butterfly pose

she takes me into
winter clouds

 

丘を登って歩く―

彼女は私を連れて行く

winter deepens
… lungi shivering on
the beggar’s face

summer ends
the wallah takes down
the raincoat array

 

夏が終わる

係が降ろす

並んだレーンコ－トを

 

 

gathering shells –
the twilight tide
splashed her face

 

貝を採集する ―

薄明かりの潮

彼女の顔にはねかかる
