Tanka...Tuesday Bench 火曜ベンチa

夜もすがら雨は降り来も我が胸のなほ潤はず　涙涸れはて

rain falling down

throughout night

still

my heart is not moistend

...tears have dried up

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

盆過ぎも　夏が居座る　雨・台風

通り雨　虹も見せずに　過ぎにけり

こんな日は　キツネが嫁入り　天気雨

降り注ぎ　耳を潤す　セミ時雨

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

magic rain falling,

smoothing the thirsty mother earth

singing our song

ready to give thanks

©Miriam Strauss

tears are dried ...

for something bad ....

my heart is so sensitive ...

calling you to come back

Yesterday's tears are
today's rain
today's smiles are
tomorrow's sunshine
How will you spend tomorrow？

Thank you so much, dear Mr. Hannes Froehlich.

I am inspired by yourreply. (Rika)

夜もすがら雨にあらはれ御影石　君を映して我をあはれぶ

you are

mirrored in a black granite

purified

by all night rain

... whispering love to me

'black granite'
mirrors our pale faces
moonlit night

©Hannes Froehlich

Looking deep
Into your eyes
Could see
Treasure tears...
Hidden by your smile...

©Aparajita Ojha

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

your absence hurts
fear even waiting for you so
wet crashes
the healing has come
... finish the long journey home

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.

盆過ぎてみ魂(たま)彼岸へ風しろくしばしの別れ秋桜（こすもす）そよぎ

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

Photograph & Tanka© Noriyuki Sawada

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

Spirits whispering
from the unknown source
should be the last time we meet
a reminder of life

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

©2018Rika Inami 稲美里佳

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。

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.
