World Haiku Series 2019 (111)
Haiku by Margaret Mahony
school pickup
waiting for
my grandson’s smile
学校への送迎
孫の笑顔を待っている
still water
a jellyfish
kisses the surface
たまり水
クラゲが表面にキス
evening
moon shadows
on the gnome’s face
夕方
月が徐々に過ぎる
地の精の顔の上を
birdsong
morning light
on a glass lake
鳥のさえずり
朝の光
ガラスのような湖の上
before sunrise
I sit with the stars
waiting…
日の出前に
星と一緒に座ります
待ちながら…
evening shadow
covering her
in sadness
夕影
彼女を覆う
悲しみの中
with the sunrise
I see
the colour of hope
日の出とともに
見えてくる
希望の色
pre dusk
in a silhouette of trees
birdsong
夕暮れ前
木の影絵の中で
鳥のさえずり
winter chill
the flutter
of bird wings
冬の寒さ
鳥の翼の羽ばたき
winter stillness
bluestone cathedral
stained with age
冬の静けさ
青い砂岩の大聖堂
年齢で汚れている
