World Haiku Series 2019 (72)
Haiku by Jasminka Mesaric
Goldfish
in the middle of the ocean
one more wish gets lost
金魚
海の真ん中に
もう一つの願いが失われる
In the deep of soul
the man is hiding
the greatest love or the greatest hate
魂の奥深くで
男は隠している
最大の愛または最大の憎しみを
The last leaf
on birch branch
is dancing with the wind
カバの木の枝の最後の一葉
風で踊っている
Black cat
crosses the road
an accident is coming
黒猫
道を渡る
事故が起こりそう
Rose petals
even are dying
they still smells
バラの花びら
死にかけている
まだ香りがする
The seed
put in the ground
without water doesn’t live
種
地の中に
水なしでは生きられない
The oldness comes
when the youth gone
on the wrong way
老いがやって来る
若さがなくなったとき
間違った方法で
Sometimes bad weather
brings a smile
to your face
時々悪天候
笑顔をもたらします
あなたの顔に
Neither stone, neither rose
are not the same
in the eyes of two observers
石でもない、バラでもない
同じではない
二人の観察者の目には
The nature teaches us
how to become
better humans
自然が教えてくれる
より良い人間になる方法を
— Translated by Hidenori Hiruta
