My Haiku on the Asahi Haikuist Network(October 2, 2009)

On October 2, four days ago, my two haiku appeared on the Asahi Haikuist Network by David McMurray.

Composing

ode for autumn wind

hermitage

侘び住い秋風に寄す詩作かな

wabizumai akikaze ni yosu sisaku kana

Pink cosmos

stay as my daughter

postlude winds

This haiku is very difficult to translate into Japanese, so I wrote tanka（短歌）　in Japanese first to explain the situations in the above haiku.

嫁ぐ子はコスモス眺む縁の先別れを奏す風の音かな

totsugu ko wa kosumosu nagamu en no saki

wakare wo sousu kaze no oto kana

Ｂｅｔｒｏｔｈｅｄ　ｄａｕｇｈｔｅｒ

admiring pink cosmos

on the veranda

the sound of winds

playing postlude
