Dew of World

Carpe Diiem #1551 Dew Of The World (Revise That Haiku … Hineri)

koborete wa tada no mizunari beni no tsuyu

the dew of the rouge flower,
when it is spilled
is simply water

© Chiyo-Ni

hasu no ha ni kono yo no tsuyu wa magarikeri

on the lotus leaf,
the dew of this world
is distorted

© Issa

the world distorted
its soul briefly imprisoned
bulging water drop

the world distorted
in a twist of nature
cupped in a lotus leaf

its soul briefly imprisoned
breeze tipping it free
mingle with life

bulging water drop
losing is hold on me
time moves on

Crickets

Carpe Diem#1542 Crickets (modern kigo)
lightning flash
into the sound of rain
a cricket shrills

nights
where you touched me
a cricket chirps

Goyo HASHIGUCHI (1881-1921)

 

 

lightning flashes
somewhere in the night
a cricket chirps

 

you touch me
the sound of rain and crickets
aches in the night
