World Haiku Series 2019 (124)
Haiku by Mitsunari Ganzicy
SPRING
***
here today –
just walking in the rain
holding umbrella in hand
今日ここに ー
ただ雨の中を歩く
傘を手にさして
***
spring midday…
the sound of wince glass
much cleaner
春の真昼…
辟易するガラスの音
ずっと澄んでいる
Note:
On midday in St. Petersburg, a cannon shoots in the Peter and Paul Fortress,
in the nearby houses the window panes cleaned after winter are wincing.
SUMMER
***
wind with spray
smell salt and iodine
first brought
しぶきをともなう風
塩とヨウドの匂いが最初ともなった
***
like at sea –
green grass waves
the wind sways
海上のようにー
青い草の波
風が揺れる
***
and you listen –
handed me a shell
boy fisher
そしてあなたは聞くー
私に貝を手渡した
少年の漁師
***
iris colors
June twilight
swallows’ scream
アイリスの色
6月の夕暮れ
ツバメの鋭い鳴き声
***
in this fog
everything sinks: and lake,
and sunlight …
この霧の中
すべてが沈む:そして湖、
そして日光…
AUTUMN
***
fiery-foxy
fox turn around
today is autumn
炎のように
キツネが振り向く
今日は秋
***
the red maples
finally could see
autumn fire
赤いカエデ
ようやく見えた
秋の火
WINTER
***
well-courtyards
in snow on the windowsill
way wings swing
中庭
窓辺の雪の中
翼の揺れ方

about the author
***
shadows flow
thin pine needles
rushes а rider in dark
swoop up the banner
in the born stars
