Chapter 5: Haiku in Canada

　

Haiku by Betty Drevniok

　

in every puddle

the after-storm-sky reflecting…

all the quiet

　

嵐過ぐ空くっきりと水溜まり

arashi sugu  sora kukkiri to  mizu-tamari

　

brilliant sunshine through autumn maples a glimpse of the lake

　

湖望む紅葉を通し日の光

umi nozomu  momiji wo tōshi  hino hikari

　

Haiku by Marianne Bluger

　

singing somewhere

in this unraveling mist

a thrush

　

晴れていく霧のどこやら鶫鳴く

harete-iku  kiri no dokoyara  tsugumi naku

　

Haiku by Marco Fraticelli

　

between each wave

my children

disappear

　

波と波波間に消へるわが子たち

nami to nami  nami-ma ni kieru  waga ko-tachi

　

　

Haiku by Marshall Hryciuk

　

in moon light

a brown pine needle

spinning above ferns

　

月明り松葉回転シダの上

tsuki-akari  matsuba kaiten  shida no ue

　

Haiku by Karen Sohne

　

ever since I was a child

the moon

following me home

　

今もなお月の見守る家路かな

ima mo nao  tsuki no mimamoru  ieji kana

　

Haiku by Sandra Fuhringer

　

frost at the window

a bowl of white rice

steaming

　

窓に霜茶碗のご飯湯気立てり

mado ni shimo  chawan no go-han  yuge tate ri

　

Haiku by Ruby Spriggs

　

park bench someone else’s warmth

　

温もりの残るベンチの座を占める

nukumori no  nokoru benchi no  za wo shimeru

　

Haiku by Elizabeth St Jacques

　

late night pond

a fish springs

from the moon

　

真夜中の池の月から跳ねる魚

mayonaka no  ike no tsuki kara  haneru uo

　

Haiku by Anita Krumins

　

interrupting

the meditation

wind chimes

　

風鈴に瞑想の糸切れにけり

fūrin ni  meisō no ito  kire-ni-keri
