World Haiku Series 2019 (130)
Haiku by Nadejda Kostadinova
winter evening
sunset
in a glass of cognac
冬の夜
コニャックのグラスの中の日没
behind the pine trees
either hiding or peeping
the moon changing face
松の木の後ろ
隠れているか覗いているかどちらか
顔を変える月
rainy cloud
casts a long shadow
on my face
雨雲
長い影を落とす
私の顔に
getting to know
the neighborhood
a grey cat
知り合うようになる
ご近所さんと
灰色の猫
the voice of
my grandfather
apple pips
おじいさんの声
アップルピップ
longest day
fitting 15 years
in a suitcase
最長の日
15年に相当
スーツケースの中で
filling in the silence
white clouds
沈黙を埋めている
白い雲
walking in the park
with the rain
公園を散歩
雨と一緒に
staring
at the same blue sky
a new day
凝視
同じ青い空を
新しい日
lost cardigan
the evening
we didn’t say goodbye
失われたカーディガン
その夜
私たちはさようならを言わなかった
