blowing-

black  swans fly  through

  the portal of the white page

強風や黒鳥門を飛び越える

HAIKU to Akita’s “Haiku Beyond Earth”

*

blowing-

black  swans fly  through

  the portal of the white page

強風や黒鳥門を飛び越える

*

bloody sunset-

through the silence of the ruins

a child’s shoe, like a cry.

夕焼けの廃墟に映える静寂に子の靴音は泣き声の如

*

here and there

signs of instability

people and trees without roots

ルーツ無き木々や人々生るる如

*

invigorating the soul-

detachment from spiral smoke

of reproaches

魂を鼓舞するために去りにけり非難の煙吸わないために

*

the desire to fly-

lost pigeon

among sleeping travelers

旅人の睡眠中に沸き起こる迷子の鳩の飛びたい気持

*

me here and there-

the clock measures distance

through the temporal torus

時間的トーラスにより距離測る時計は分かる私の居場所

*

between several explosions

emotional

the warm vibration of prayer

数回の爆発の間に感情に震えが起こり祈りに走る

*

troubled times

the beauty of the golden carp

goes unnoticed

錦鯉美の気づかれぬ時代かな

*

Note: Short Japanese Poetry of 17 phonetic Units of 5, 7, 5 Pattern

Inspired by eight English haiku by ANIȘOARA IORDACHE, Hidenori Hiruta translated them literally into Japanese short poems first of all.

As a result, three 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 five of the English haiku are interpreted into Japanese tanka（短歌）form of 5,7,5,7,7 pattern.

This is because English is different from Japanese.
