Haiku by Dmitry Prokudin

 

Under the sea silt

Does not see the starfish

Playing waves

 

海のシルトの下

ヒトデが見えない

ゆらいでいる波

 

Morning singing

Birds outside the window

Back to school

 

朝の囀り

窓の外の小鳥

学校に戻る

 

Plum with bamboo

Growing up together as friends –

So would people

 

竹とウメ

友だちとして一緒に育つー

人もそうです

 

March afternoon

Let the fish out into the river –

Let them see the waves

 

三月の午後

その魚を川に放すー

波を見させよう

 

So serene

The Heron stares into the distance.

Summer morning

 

とてもうららか

サギが遠くを見つめる

夏の朝

 

The voice of a free bird

I sing too

Inwardly

 

自由な小鳥の声

私も歌う

小声で

 

Dropped frost

The tree on the rock

Late autumn

 

落ちた霜

岩の木の上

晩秋

 

Spring in the mountains

The path leads to the sky –

In Tao the abode

 

山々の春

道は空へ続くー

タオの住処

 

— Translated by Hidenori Hiruta
