World Haiku Series 2019 (210)
Haiku by Hana Tatara
the golden soar of phoenix
tailing into the air
sunset feather clouds
鳳凰の飛翔のひかり夕焼雲
airplane cloud
white stitch
on blue sky
青空の白きステッチ飛行機雲
rose scented night
a gorgeous sleep
on petals
花びらを臥所(フシド)にしたき薔薇の夜
moonlit night
plum petals transforming into
scales of a dragon
花びらの竜鱗となる梅月夜
Sprouts coming out of a gigantic tree
the stripped darkness
暗闇を剥ぎて大樹の芽吹きかな
sakura in full bloom
sloping down to the ground
Torrent
なだれては激流となる花万朶
the shadow in daylight
full of white crosses
doku-dami flowers
昼闇に白き十字架どくだみ草
dark night
lit by fireflies
dancing in love
宵闇にひかりのダンス恋蛍
body’s shape
copied on futon
night sweat
肉叢(シシムラ)の跡くっきりと寝汗かな
flight in line
on the lane of wind
cranes go north
風道(カザミチ)に列なす鶴の北帰行

Bio:
Hana Tatara belongs to a Japanese traditional haiku group named Nininno- kai.
In her childhood her mother who loved haiku often took her to ku-kai (a gathering of haiku poets) though it was very boring for a child.
She can say now that it made her start her haiku life.
