SUMMER Haiku Collection
summer festival / backstage, a parent's sweat shines, / jewels for the kids
夏祭裏方さんの汗の数long season of rain / even the words seem to blur / on a sweet child's book
梅雨じめり絵本の字さえ滲むかなyoung leaves unfurl / a bond with the vast blue / the spring's hopeful pact
青空と縁を結ぶ若葉かなzephyr of fresh summer, / bright, graceful Kannon's touch, / boundless mercy found
初夏の風千手の慈悲のそよぎかなsummer sun makes dark, / white bottoms flash in sunshine - / day's glare, burning bright
日焼して黒光る子や尻の白scorched futons unfold, / summer's heat has baked them dry, / warmth lingers, smoke's trace
炎暑干す寝具は焦げた香のままでmirrored sky, azure, / rice paddy, awaiting touch, / hopes for harvest’s gold
田植まで水青く待つ田んぼかなsummer river gleams, / young leaves dance on ripples' flow, / laughter's song echos
夏の川みなもの緑ウフフフとempty my sakazuki, / green leaves reflected within, / gaste of early summer
盃に若葉の美味を飲み干せりwearing bright yukata, / you bring color to the crowd, / flowing with the stream
浴衣着て君は彩り人の川shaded by leafy boughs, / years impart gentle warmth and, / grace in Jizo’s face
緑陰に老いて優しき地蔵かなfrom shade to shade, white, / dress flits through towering trees - / dodging summer's glare
木陰から木陰へ白の夏衣
