<In English>
Almost every month, I submit a tanka poem in English and Japanese to Akita International Haiku Network.
This month, I have successfully submitted my tanka to the network, and I am relieved to have it published by Mr Hidenori Hiruta, the president of the network.
For this submission, I chose the theme of "Love". There are many kinds of love, such as love between men and women, love between parents and children, love between friends, etc., but I chose love between men and women as my theme.
I have been waiting for a man for a while now. Due to
various reasons, I am only waiting for him now, but I hope you can understand
my feelings through this tanka.
On this blog, I chose a piece of tanka. I already published ones here.
I hope you check out my whole 10 pieces of tanka on Akita International Haiku Network.
こもり沼(ぬ)の傾斜(なだり)に散りし櫻葉は焦がれに染みて色かさねけり
at the hidden pond
cherry tree’s leaves being shed
on the slope
are dyed in long-awaited charred
and piled up
Note: Charred colour means the colour to “pine
for” or “long for” in the Japanese language.
