Tanka...Spring Rain 20190425

春雨に濡るる梅花の花びらの透きとほり色 天(あま)と分かたず

wetting

with  spring rain

crystal petals

of plum flowers don’t

separate from the celestial

Tanka ...Camellia 藪椿

花椿　落花に見ゆる執念か色香然にして一糸乱れず

a fallen camellia --

does it show

its obsession?

... in perfect fragrance 

and color as it is

I published 5tankas on Swans here. 

6

奥羽の山脈(やまなみ)遠白く白鳥ら精こめ翔(かけ)る帰還の旅路

a spacious

Ōu mountain range --

swans soaring yonder

the journey to return home

with their all spirit

7

白鳥ら雪解の泥田に影うつし帰還の旅路に備へ食みをり

swans mirror themselves

in the surface of paddy fields

after snow-melt

eating and preparing

for their return journey

8

より近くにて撮るべしとふ声ありて懼れて寄りて嬉々として撮る

a voice falling to me

“Take pictures of swans closer”--

approaching

slowly and silently

I do so gleeflly as the voice

9

異類種に群れの啼き声つひ已むも害無きかなとなほ弾み啼く

perceiving

me, a different species

a pride stops calling

knowing my innocence makes

their whooping more joyfully

10

佳き空の無事の旅路を祈りつつ離れがたきの白鳥ゆ去る

wishing

for the beautiful sky

for their safety in flying

I leave swans at the paddy fields

… reluctant to part

Tanka...Remaining Snow 名残り雪

山のなだりの名残り雪  陽光の霞となりて消ゆるはいつぞ

when is
lingering snow on the incline
of a mountain
melted by sunshine
and becoming haze?

《柳絮》 文/田宇 风脩凭大泽，出命岂相邻？ 此物犹怜惜，当春更爱亲。 苍枝纷薄雨，白裹皓轻尘。 半落乾坤外，盈盈乃自身。 【〈Willow catkins〉 Author/Tian Yu Blown up by the wind because of great fortune. Neither of them has been near since birth. People are very fond of willow catkins. It feels closer in spring. Willow catkins drift like rain， among the branches of willow trees. People's heads are white， because they stick to their heads. Most of them fall around the world. Their purity is due to their own noble spirit.】

Tanka...Cedar Forest in Spring

深碧の闇を投ずる杉山に春光さして先のきはめむ

cedar forests

casting shadows of dark green

spring light

makes their fine edge

reach the sky
