Ten English Haiku

setting sun

the shadow of the tower

reaches my house

夕日

塔の影

我が家に届く

time travelling

making a new friend

新しい友達を作る

ラテン語を話す人と

cold outside

snowman moves into

a warm cottage

外は寒い

雪だるまが移動する

暖かい小屋に

the blue sky

gets lighter & lighter

toward the distance

青い空

どんどん淡くなる

遠くに向かって

autumn breeze

an old frog watching

yellow leaves fall       

秋風

年老いたカエルが見ている

黄葉が落ちるのを

diving deep

into total quiet

broken ship

深く潜る

完全なる静寂の中へ

壊れた船

total silence

even in daytime

the Mars

全くの沈黙

日中でさえ

火星

Sunday sleep-in

I shut my rooster

in a dark room

雄鶏を閉じ込める

暗い部屋に

I know who’s passing

by the footsteps

forgetting the season

  1. Inside, these steps of mine:
    my every breath is filled with beauty and love for poetry!

  2. ln every shelter
    the sky in the eyes
    still her
    the dawn that will come.

  3. Unavoidable
    breath in life
    hungry and thirsty
    which does not cease.

  4. It’s on the banks
    inside this heart
    that falls at night
    in the realm of dreams.
