Young finch batters gold
Against window's bird in fear,
Renouncing bright sun.

[Tai Shi]

Morning stomach fill
With grain, milk, yogurt—fine juice!
Nourishing self, and fine mind,

Sit quietly before White
Buddha? Purity, Wisdom
Body breath quiet

We will fill sixth mind,
Mindfulness wisdom gone
Before, with knowledge!

A packed carriage
confused faces
London in the rain

Garden spider
Seeking cover
Late September.

Chanting sutras
Robe on head
Fancy a sandwich?

- my wife came into the room mid jukai ceremony to ask if I wanted a sandwich, she didn't bat an eyelid that I was gasshoing and chanting or taking precepts
. I could then hear her swearing in the kitchen trying to open a pickle jar. I found the juxtaposition amusing.

Haha! Brilliant!

Quite minimal but imagine you can all guess
what it is about!


one footstep
after another
temple bell

Nine Canada geese
Descending to land, wings still
Paying attention

[Tai Shi]

Morning yellow disk
Into difficult sky rises
Before back into spring.

Another silver
Moon descends in favor
Of spring snow melt .

I wrote it in Turkish but will try to translate English:

tunç güz yaprağı
soğuk toprak üstünde
düşüyor hala

bronze leaf of autumn
on the cold earth
still falling

[Horin]

I tried another autumn haiku in spanish:

hojas de colores cayendo
último baile en el viento
el invierno nunca llega

---

colored leaves falling
last dance in the wind
winter never comes

Wanted to share this older haiku as I come back to it myself whenever I have a bout of insomnia...


awake at 3 a.m.—
the summer moon
in a starless sky


Gassho,

Nice! I don't know how you even start to write haiku in your second and third languages!
