World Haiku Series 2019 (89)

Haiku by Katherine J. Munro

 

break in the showers –

wind in the trees

sounds like rain

 

(DailyHaiku, 2015)

 

にわか雨が一休み –

木々に吹き渡る風

雨みたい

 

breeze in the treetops

my neighbour’s wind chimes

then mine

 

(Haiku Canada Review, 2015)

 

梢のそよ風

私の隣人の風鈴

その時私の風鈴に

 

daybreak the egg cracks open

 

(DailyHaiku, 2014)

 

夜明けに卵が割れて開く

 

low winter sun

through this kitchen window

snowflakes float

 

(Wah, 2014)

 

 低い冬の太陽

このキッチンの窓から

雪片が漂う

 

paper cup flowers in the garden

 

(DailyHaiku, 2014)

 

庭の紙のコップのような花

 

soap bubbles

on a spring breeze –

forgotten ideas

 

(4and20, 2012)

 

 シャボン玉

春の風に –

 

忘れられたアイデア

 

spring sun

cat naps rotate

through the house

 

(World Haiku Review, 2013)

 

 春の太陽

猫のお昼寝

家の中

 

sunflowers

open or shut

behind the eye patch

 

(Yay Words! blog, 2012)

 

ひまわり

開いたり閉じたり

眼帯の背後で

 

the smack of sandals

on the sidewalk –

summer rain

 

(DailyHaiku, 2015)

 

サンダルのピシャッという音

歩道の上 –

夏の雨

 

untouched snow

the driveway

of our new house

 

(Haiku Canada Review, 2013)

 

手つかずの雪

私たちの新しい家の私道

 

— Translated by Hidenori Hiruta
