Haiku about Swans


My haiku appeared on the Asahi Haikuist Network by David McMurray on November 6.



Swans depart

from the beech forests

yellow leaves


白鳥の発つブナの葉や黄色染め

hakucho no tatsu buna no ha ya kiiro zome


I post another haiku of mine here.


Swans repose

in the beech forests

yellow leaves


ブナの葉や白鳥憩ふ黄色染め

buna no ha ya hakucho ikou kiiro zome



Now, let me post two haiku by Mr. John McDonald, a Scottish poet.

He wrote two haiku about swans in his book titled 'TUIM TIN TASSIE (empty tin cup)'.


fou muin―

on the derk watter

a swan


full moon―

on the dark water

a swan


満月や暗い水面に孤白鳥

mangetsu ya kurai mizumo ni ko hakucho



swans preenin―

kinches

o a luvers' hank


swans preening―

loops

of a lovers' knot


羽づくろひ白鳥輪をかき恋結ぶ

ha zukuroi hakucho wa wo kaki koi musubu



― Hidenori Hiruta

  7. Devika San,

    thank you for a beautiful and lively haiku!

    Here in Akita leaves are just floating in wind
    and swans are just rippling in water.

    I've been impressed with your haiku.

    best regards,
    Hidenori Hiruta
