Haiku by Štefanija Ludvig
rainy autumn —
under the boletus hat
the ant camp
雨の秋
ポルチーニ帽子の下に
アリのキャンプ
winter sun —
warms up the day
again with delay
冬の太陽
一日を温めます
また遅れて
land and island —
a bridge just opened
with hope and peace
陸と島
橋が開通したばかり
希望と平和と共に
playful storm —
spills its foam
on the ship’s glass
遊び心のある嵐–
泡をこぼす
船のガラスの上に
nearby pasture —
thoroughbred horses graze
in freedom
近くの牧草地
サラブレッド馬が牧草を食む
自由に
the morning whiteness —
cherry petals more and more
luxuriate
朝の白さ
桜の花びらがどんどん増える
贅沢三昧
by the quiet ocean–
magnificent creatures
breaking waves
静かな海辺
素晴らしい生き物
砕波
finger on the Globe
I’m looking for a place
for inspiration
地球儀に指を置く
場所を探す
インスピレーションのために
the war memorial —
on the crosses with roses
a drizzling rain
戦争記念碑
バラの十字架の上に
霧雨
on Hvar
sown by a sandstorm
Japanese iris seeds
フヴァル島で
砂嵐によって蒔かれた
花菖蒲の種子
－Translated into Japanese by Hidenori Hiruta
