Tanka...Vernal Street Lamp

ほっかりと曇天ともす街灯の鶸色（ひわいろ）にして芽桜に添ふ

lightly floating ...

street lamps in vernal color

lighting up the cloudy sky

accompany buds of sakura

香山望海有叹》文/田宇四表光华生万象，波澜只望复何如？云中有限空劳雁，海上无穷不足鱼。日月为风真可远，乾坤乃气实堪虚。新人故夜清寒句，未入桑田竟入书。【<Looking at the Sea in Xiangshan City> Author/Tian Yu The prosperity on all sides makes people feel surging. But what if the endless waves can't be in my hands? As far as I can see, the clouds in the sky are not as high as a goose. Although the sea is endless, it is not as good as swimming fish swimming far. The sun and the moon can be seen as a gust of wind and light farther away. Heaven and earth are just like air. A young man like me wrote poems on an ancient land. I don't want it to be immortal. I just want someone to understand it.】

街灯の灯りは薄く鶸色で溶け込む街に桜の若芽

night fell on the streets..
filled the world with darkness..
light crept through Windows following my senses ...
my heart flew away over the seas
reached the north land of cold ... but it full of soul's warmness.

I adore the rain
My tongue savors each sweet drop
I'm in bliss today

Tanka ...Higanake 彼岸明け a 201904

各々の選(よ)りし場に発(た)つ彼岸明け一期一会のやさしさに満ち

finishing higan --

each leaves for the place

where each chose

… filled with tender heart

of once-in -a-lifetime chance

※Higan is the equinoctial week in spring and autumn in Japanese.

In this work, it means "Vernal Equinox".

《答友有题》文/田宇纵剪幽光同璧月，繁华破艳与流尘。三尊酒对无知己，一笑萍逢是故人。寂寞常嗟难过日，芳菲每叹错容身。当头请趁相停处，落杏违期自看春。【<Answer a Friend's Question> Author/Tian Yu Even if the quiet moonlight is sheared to the heart, It's just that it's too short to last long. Judging friendship by the amount of alcohol you drink, It's not as emotional as the old knowledge I met in other places. When lonely, people always want to be quiet. Where is the time flowing to our youth? Now that we meet, we don't have to cover up any more. Let's be happy in spring, a season of flowers.】

My Favorite Tanka...Shojin Zen 精進膳

春彼岸精進膳をそなへむか先祖に一つ無縁に一つ

offering shoujin-zens

during vernal equinox week --

one is

to my ancestors' spirits

the other is to the deserted's

※

"The neglected" is the spirit who has no living relatives.

この歌は以前お盆の歌の初句を変えて春彼岸にしました。

It is Spring Equinox Week March 18 to 24, which is one of the most important events for Japanese Buddhists.  I have to offer some special foods including Shojin Cooking to my dead ancestors in this term.  In brief, Shojin Cooking is Zen Cooking.  The photo is Shojin Cooking for the beginning of the equinox week on 18th. March .

Tanka ...the beginning of vernal equinox week 彼岸入り a201904

彼岸入り野ざらしの髑髏（しゃれこうべ）とふ君さするごと木魚拭きたり

the beginning

of vernal equinox week --

as if caressing you

a weather-beaten skull

I clean a wooden-fish

※

木魚は魚を模して作られたということですが、

髑髏に似ていると思います。

木魚について→https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%A8%E9%AD%9A　

Wooden-Fish is said to be made in imitation of a fish.

However, I think it looks like a skull.

Now, it is a season of the announcement of the entrance examination pass in Japan.

This spring, I posted it with attaching Forsythia,
whose flower language is to be fulfilled wishes.

Three tankas for the first anniversary of my friend’s death / 亡き友の１周忌に３首　20190314a

君逝きて早も一年(ひととせ)シンビジウム残雪を背に今日も咲きたり

one year has already passed

since you left this world --

against the remaining snow

cymbidium blooming today too

This photo is from my friend.

岩山を渡(と)し空に舞ふ鳥を追ひ目指す峰までなほ如何ほどや

walking the rocky mountain

chasing birds flying in the sky …

how far

is it still to the mountain-top

your goal?

ねがはくは今日聴く鳥は白鳥にあれ君に添ひ吾(あ)も聴かるるに

I hope

the birds you hear today

are swans …

I can also hear them

accompanying you

※ 晩秋にシベリアから飛来した白鳥が帰還する季節になりました。この頃、

頭上で白鳥が啼く声をよく耳にします。

It is the season that swans which came flying from Siberia in late autumn return. These days, I often hear their whooping call.

Tanka...Mt. Chokai in March 鳥海山 20190310a

----------------------

　昨日はとても良く晴れ、久しぶりにすっきりとした鳥海山を見ることができました。

実は車を運転していいる時に見た鳥海山に感動し、帰宅後、昼食を摂ったあとに写真が撮れる地点まで戻って撮りました。

Yesterday, March 9th. 2019, was fine very much. I could see the beautiful Mt. Chokai for the first time in a while during winter. However, it was while driving. I was so fascinated with it that I backed to the place to enable me to take pictures of Mt. Chokai after lunch at home

青冴えの三月（やよい）の空に鳥海の峰より裾に真白にそびゆ

a clear blue sky

in March ...
awe-inspiring

Mt. Chokai in pure white

from the top to the foot
