Haiku about Winter (5)


On January 23, 2010, Bonden Festival in Akita (梵天祭り)(秋田)appeared in 'Special Galleries .....DARUMA MUSEUM (03)' by Dr. Gabi Greve in Okayama, Japan.



Another blog by Dr. Gabi Greve, 'WKD-Saijiki for Festivals and Ceremonies' is also of much interest. Please check out the address: http://wkdfestivalsaijiki.blogspot.com/.


Here now, let me post some haiku and a photo of Bonden Festival in Akita.



Sending out steam

dedicating Bonden

New Year's Festival


湯気立てて梵天納む寒祭り

yuge tatete Bonden osamu kan matsuri



The first Bonden

rushing into the shrine

Coming-of-age Feast


成人の梵天宮に初名告

seijin no Bonden miya ni hatsu nanori



From Hindu skies

does the wild goose carry

Bonten


ヒンドゥーの空の梵天雁運ぶ

Hinduu no sora no Bonten gan hakobu

Haiku about Winter (4)


My haiku appeared on the Asahi Haikuist Network by David McMurray on January 1 and 15.



From Heaven's hand

do snowflakes spill

falling stars


神の手のこぼす雪片星降りぬ

kami no te no kobosu seppen hoshi furinu



A cup of tea

keeps us cozy ―

snowy garden


雪の庭一杯のお茶に温もれり

yuki no niwa ippai no ocha ni nukumore ri

Haiku about Winter (3)


I visited Senshu Park (千秋公園)in Akita on January 11.


Garden viewing

snow sits on the bench

evergreens


庭景色ベンチの雪見る常緑樹

niwa geshiki benchi no yuki miru jouryokuju



The old pond

reflects winter sky

carp unmoving


冬空を映す古池鯉静か

fuyu zora wo utsusu furu ike koi sizuka

Haiku about Winter (2)



The old bear

dreams of eternity

a bamboo grove


竹林の老ひし熊見る永遠の夢

chikurin no oishi kuma miru towa no yume



In the snow

too cold for the lute

into silence


雪の中琵琶の音凍へ静寂へと

yuki no naka biwa no ne kogoe shijima e to
