Haiku by Daniela Misso (Italy)
***
on the sidewalk
a gleam of sunlight –
autumn leaves
sul marciapiede
un barlume di sole –
foglie d’autunno
紅葉に陽光光る歩道かな

caressing
the water of a stream
autumn leaves
accarezzando
l’acqua di un ruscello
foglie d’autunno
紅葉や小川の水を愛撫する

with eyes closed –
birdsong far and near
ad occhi chiusi –
il canto di uccelli vicini e lontani
目を閉じる鳥の囀り遠近に

four steps
overgrown with moss –
house of refuge
quattro scalini
ricoperti di muschio –
casa rifugio
４段の階段ごとに生い茂る苔の迎える避難所ここに

flutter of wings –
an untouched snowflake
on the windowsill

Note: Short Japanese Poetry of 17 phonetic Units of 5, 7, 5 Pattern
Inspired by ten English haiku by Daniela Misso, Hidenori Hiruta translated them literally into Japanese short poems first of all.
As a result, six 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).
And four of the English haiku are interpreted into Japanese tanka（短歌）poetry of 5,7,5,7,7 pattern.
This is because English is different from Japanese.
