ARTS: Your Haiku!

[Kokuu]

Country sounds tonight
Saigon's motorbikes got lost
In frogs and hard rain

Thank you, Kyoshin!

Just a reminder there is no need to use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern unless you want. 5/7/5 Japanese sound units generally translates to fewer syllables in English and syllable counting is far less important than the actual poetic content.

Haha, I wasn't actually aiming for a 5/7/5 but I got one anyway! [emoji16]

What better
Embodiment of now—
A tickle on a lip

Gassho,

You think you are here
Then something happens, kerplunk;
every day is a gift.

The barn is burnt down
Now we see the fields beyond,
There is a full moon.

Foggy lens replaced,
Was blind but now I can see;
Amazing autumn.

Love you all; gassho, Shokai

I also sat this morning
Shokai taught me how
To be patient

Jundo taught me how
How to be polite

All the wonderful people
The best more music

In my heart, is this my Buddhism

Tell me teachers
This is my delicate Pearl
Marjorie best forever

Friends, B F F E, we were
Children in our apple tree

Near day lilies, where you
Planted our Father’s Day

Gift from Laurel Ann
Aspens still growing

From volunteer roots
Thank you Jundo
Thank you Shokai
For patience, persistence
For manners

For ethereal nothingness
Written in more than
Three lines

Last day of summer--
Digging up leeks
somewhere a bonfire burns.

Thank you Taishi, you are very welcome

I have one car,
And here I live.
Stars pass just like before.

[Shokai]

Read Gustav's book, wow,
witness to his becoming;
The moon is clearer.

I recently had a poem of mine translated into Chinese which is nice, even though I cannot read it myself!

elephant skull
the looming shadow
of Kilimanjaro

Chinese Translation (Traditional)

大象頭骨
乞力馬扎羅山隱約可見
的陰影

Chinese Translation (Simplified)

大象头骨

Your Haiku!

Wonderful! Interesting too. Sheds light on Chinese Culture. How did you find out they publish Poets from your Britton? Do you speak and write Chinese? No. Just very nervous be cause I see one of my Dr this morning. Great in English. Sorry.

Your Haiku!

Reflected fall trees, pools
On fire, as children seek candy,
Sweet days of November ahead.
