World Haiku Series 2020 (64) Haiku by Milan Rajkumar

evening breeze . . .
the pattern of golden leaves 
in her sari 

　      　　ESUJ-H, October, 2020

夕方のそよ風
黄金の葉の模様
彼女のサリーに

first flower . . .
the lawnmower makes
a u-turn 

               Haiku Foundation, August 5, 2020

最初の花
芝刈り機が作る
Uターン

this evening . . . 
on the courtesan's earrings
the moon's reflection

              Failed Haiku, Issue 55

今日の夕方 
遊女のイヤリングに
月の反射

monsoon night ...
the wind chimes tell
another story

               UNDER THE BASHO, modern haiku/3359

モンスーンの夜
風鈴が伝える
別の話

spring morning ...
sunlight opens the gate
of nimbus clouds

春の朝
日光が門を開く
雨雲の

swirling leaves –
the rattle of
an old typewriter

渦巻く葉
ガタガタする音
古いタイプライター

the last samurai . . . 
dreams of cherry blossoms
on his death bed

                  Haiku Foundation, July 22, 2020

最後の士 
桜の夢
彼の死のベッドで

this parting…
from the old to the new
deciduous leaves

                  Haiku Foundation, September 30, 2020

この別れ
古いものから新しいものへ
落葉樹の葉       

longest night…
a single candle lights up
the empty bedroom 

                  Haiku Foundation, September 2, 2020

一番長い夜
1本のキャンドルが点灯する
空しい寝室に

monsoon river…
the silent words
in the flow 

                 Haiku Foundation, August 12, 2020

モンスーンの川
沈黙の言葉
流れの中で
