Haiku

Did Anybody guess it? I love short poems like haikus, tankas, or quatrains. In particular haikus suite my need of sudden expression when a sensation, a perception, a single thought wonders trough my brains in an instant.



And thus I express that thought, that sensation by dripping it onto a sheet of paper, like droplets of awareness frozen in ice cubes, available to anyone who would like to hold them in their hands and melt the coldness away.

It’s liberating! Try and compose one yourself. O two. Or as many as you wish.

three gleaming planets
drift astray through the dark skies.
then comes the daylight.

Italian version

white’s all around me.
fog is so democratic,
nothing can stand out.


Italian version

parcels and bundles,
heavy bags, nervous women.
sales in every shop.

starry sky above
cold air blowing in my ears
salt under my feet

Il mio amico Rupert e gli Amministratori mi scuseranno se deraglio un po' dal tema e inserisco un haiku in .....latino (nientepopodimeno...). Se lo ritenete opportuno potete fare un copia-incolla e trasferire in altra sede più appropriata. Grazie

Haiku di Sara Cafiero:

Tornerò all’ombra
che l’erba non asciuga
sole perdente

Sub umbra redeam
quia herbam non siccat
hic perdens sol.

Un altro Haiku , ad opera di Valeria Vigilante:

Sotto il sole
Mario si innamora
di un filo d’erba

In die solis
Marius amore captus
grameninis.

Ed un altro ancora, sempre in latino (Haiku di Carla Nuzzolo) :

Cercando il sole
come una lucertola
lei scrive assorta

Et quaerens solem
sicut lacerta scribit
cogitabunda

Belli, vero? La fonte è:

I'm certainly not going to erase the beautiful poetries you posted. We're open-minded and absolutely not exclusive. What I'm going to do, though, is provide an English translation and I'm going to present a polyglot version of these wonderful Latin haikus.

back in the shadow that doesn’t dry out the grass the sun’s a looser.	Sub umbra redeam quia herbam non siccat hic perdens sol.	Tornerò all’ombra che l’erba non asciuga sole perdente
under the hot sun mario’s falling for a sleeve of grass. And it’s love.	Sotto il sole Mario si innamora di un filo d’erba	In die solis Marius amore captus grameninis.
just like a lizard, engrossed in her writing she’s seeking the sun.	Cercando il sole come una lucertola lei scrive assorta	Et quaerens solem sicut lacerta scribit cogitabunda

Amicus certus in re incerta cernitur.

Benigne dicis, Rup :yeah:

snow is not falling.
pollens, on the contrary,
rule and breath and air.


Italian version

Seems made out of ice
There, the sun that’s shining bright
And doesn’t heat me.
