Tanka...Cosmos 秋桜a

盆過ぎて み魂(たま)かなたへ 風しろく 置きのみやげの秋桜（こすもす）そよぎ

Bon passed

spirits left for another world...

cosmos flowers

as parting gifts

whispering in white breeze

※
コスモスの写真はちょうどお盆過ぎの8月21日に撮りました。
Bon is one of the most important events for Japanese Buddhists August 13-15 in many areas.
Seeing-off Bon is Aug 16-18.
It is said the dead spirits descend to this world during the Bon/ Obon period.
I took pictures of  cosmos-flowers  Aug. 21 after Obon.

来月はお彼岸がきます。そのときにまた語り合うことができますね。

Halo of the saint
flowers have fallen
dusk comes earlier…
enthusiasm is fading
berries will be ripe

Spirits whispering
from the unknown source
should be the last time we meet

Tanka...Lingering summer heat 残暑a

おほかたは意にならぬ故こだはらず 炎暑に焼かれ諸々の消ゆ

because
most things are beyond my will
I don't fix on
... burnt by the blazing sun
the various disappear

beyond the unknown
where everything is entangled
the various appearing

豊田隆志様より

意（井）の中の蛙大海を知らず。

The frog in the will (well) knows nothing of the great ocean.

Akita International Haiku/ Tanka 秋田インターナショナル俳句短歌 Aug.2018

たぶの木に炎暑鎮まる蚶満寺　揚羽の円舞に芭蕉を思ひ

heat waves calm down

thanks to the tabu tree

at Kanmanji temple --

a swallowtail butterfly’s round dance

reminds me of Basho

※芭蕉は1689年に蚶満寺を訪れました。

Tabu tree is Machlus Thumbergi.

Basho visited Kanmanji Temple in 1689.

Photo...A pair of cherry trees

Apair of cherry trees in late summer.

I watch them all the year round while morning-walking.

They are a very good couple. 

晩夏のペア桜です。一年中、散歩時に見ています。とても良いカップルです。
