World Haiku Series 2019 (21)

Haiku by Bidur Prasad Chaulagain

 

Gibbous moon

Deceiving with unique names

Every month

 

凸月

ユニークな名前で欺く

毎月

 

coffee beans
brewing and blending
midnight

 

コーヒー豆

挽いてブレンド

真夜中

 

My hands

Clapping in summer-

Dying mosquito

 

私の手

夏の拍手　―

死にかけている蚊

 

a winter

made of marriage paper

capsized

 

結婚証明書でできた末期

転覆

 

the boy counts

this cold autumn

fallen leaves

 

少年は数える

この寒い秋を

落ち葉

 

graveyard

the lovers in silence disagree
to come

 

墓地

沈黙の恋人たちは同意しない

行くのを

 

A frog

Jumping in the pond

Fresh air

 

蛙

池に飛び込む

新鮮な空気

 
Your lip

Caressing my throat
Crescent moon

 

あなたの唇が私の喉を愛撫する

三日月

 

Infinite image

I do captured…

By full　moon

 

無限の像

私は捕らえたのです…

満月で

 

The River
A flow of its own
Discontinuity

 

その川

独自の流れ

不連続
