Haiku by Shanthi Saravanan (India)
வானத்தின்
காட்சி படலம்
அந்தரத்தில் நடனமாடும் புறாக்கள்
***
Hollow Space
In the sky
Dancing pigeons
***
天上の虚空に遊び踊る鳩

HAIKU to Akita’s “Haiku Beyond Earth”
***
Dance performance
In the Sky
A split half from the wing
翼から裂けし分身踊る空
***
In rain water
Face is washed by
Leaves
雨水に葉つぱで顔を洗ひけり
***
Air fragrance carried
fish smell
The black cat that follows
黒猫や魚の匂ひ追ひかける
***
to the waves
Sea gives way
By spreading the sand
砂広げ波頭に道を譲る海
***
Black Beauty
in the Garden
Embryonic beetle
庭の中黒きものあり美しや甲虫なりその幼虫ぞ
***
A dance of shadows
on the ground
Wings fly Tapasfl
飛ぶ翼影のダンスの地に映える

Note: Short Japanese Poetry of 17 phonetic Units of 5, 7, 5 Pattern
Inspired by English haiku by Shanthi Saravanan, Hidenori Hiruta translated them literally into short Japanese poems first of all.
As a result, the interpretative Japanese poems of 5, 7, 5 pattern are added to the English haiku as above. Some of them might be haiku(俳句), and others senryū(川柳).
Surprisingly, one of the English haiku were interpreted into Japanese tanka(短歌)poetry of 5,7,5,7,7 pattern. This is because English is different from Japanese.
