On December 20, 2011, Patricia Lidia in Romania, kindly presented a haiku calendar to us.
The haiku calendar was made by Ioana Dinescu and Constanta Erca in Romania.
Here is a photo of the month May.

on the garden wires
traces of dew Patricia Lidia

庭の針金の上に
露の跡 パトリシア・リディア

Easter time –
clucking hen on the eggs
the rainbow
復活祭の時 ―
卵を抱き、コッコッと鳴くメンドリ
虹
remaining alone
Harlequin plays chess
on his own costume
一人残っている ―
ハーレキンがチェスをする
自分の衣装のまま
Easter time –
each egg bears
a light
復活祭の時 ―
卵がそれぞれ産む
光を一つ
egg and pasqueflower
both white with yellow inside –
the red belongs to Him
卵とセイヨウオキナグサ
両方とも白、内側は黄色 ―
赤は神のもの
leaving behind
a trail of light –
twilight and snail
残しながら
光の跡を ―
薄明かりとカタツムリ
snail in twilight –
with all the light on its back
dreams of being a firefly
薄明かりのカタツムリ ―
光を全て背中に浴びて
螢である夢を見る
dead bird
yet a feather flutters
in the wind
死んだ鳥
まだ羽根が羽ばたく
風の中で

一人もいない空間と

a lot of colors
虹の空
彼女のつぶれた声が加える
多くの色を

falling short of
for the blind
明るい日光 ―
不十分である
目の見えない少年には
tender breeze—
her feeling raises
high waves

the stone melts
with grief
暖かな感触 ―
石が溶ける
深い悲しみで
