Tanka ...Frozen Lake 凍ゆる湖


その狂気 凍ゆる湖(うみ)に沈めたし
オフィーリアは浮かび来るもなし


madness ...
I want to sink it 
under the frozen  lake
Ophelia doesn't 
rise to the surface


※日本語の短歌は2018年5月号の短歌誌「 未来」に掲載された作品です。
 As for the Japanese original tanka, it was published at Mirai Tanka Association's monthly magazine Vol. May, 2018.

君逝きて早も一年 ( ひととせ ) シンビジウム残雪を背に今日も咲きたり one year has already passed since you left this world -- against the remaining snow cymbidium blooming today too This photo is from my friend.     岩山を渡 ( と ) し空に舞ふ鳥を追ひ目指す峰までなほ如何ほどや walking the rocky mountain chasing birds flying in the sky … how far is it still to the mountain-top your goal? ねがはくは今日聴く鳥は白鳥にあれ君に添ひ吾 ( あ ) も聴かるるに I hope the birds you hear today are swans … I can also hear them accompanying you ※      晩秋にシベリアから飛来した白鳥が帰還する季節になりました。この頃、 頭上で白鳥が啼く声をよく耳にします。 It is the season that swans which came flying from Siberia in late autumn return.  These days, I often hear their whooping call.

Tanka...Reiwa 令和の御代

イメージ
うるはしき春風そよぎ和の心さざなみわたれ令和の御代に beauteous spring breeze ... New Era, Reiwa the spirit of peace rippling around the world ©2019Rika Inami 稲美 里佳 ------------------------ 原始から少し下りて万葉の歌が目出度く平成に生き ©Ryuuji Suwa ----------------------------- 拂霓裳•观丁香结之有题》 文/田宇 作幽深。 自羁花色向云心。 生翠袖，落题无教满香襟。 秋千何处试，钗燕不堪寻。 叹闲沉。客易来、头岁又春阴。 佳人恰似，青结断、独琼簪。 枝碧锁，乱风哀怨弄骚琴。 红楼犹可入，媚蝶欲为侵。 忘啼森。晓昏中、寒盏且平斟。 【<A Poem Written After Appreciating the Beauty of Clove Flowers> Author/Tian Yu Cloves grow in secluded places. They all hide their colors in deep places. Green branches and leaves grow in spring. People can't help wondering how they can't write their fragrance. Where do they swing like girls? Flowers like headdresses are so charming. I lament their freedom. Every time a visitor comes to see them, spring has arrived. They really look like beautiful women. By the time youth passed, only hairpins were left. Now when they were young, The breeze blows like t...

Tanka...Higanake 彼岸明け

イメージ
各々の 選 よ りし場に 発 た つ彼岸明け一期一会のやさしさに満ち finishing higan -- each leaves for the place where each chose … filled with tender heart of once-in -a-lifetime chance ※ Higan is the equinoctial week in spring and autumn in Japanese. In this work, it means "Vernal Equinox". ©2019Rika Inami 稲美 里佳 ----------------------- 《答友有题》 文/田宇 纵剪幽光同璧月，繁华破艳与流尘。 三尊酒对无知己，一笑萍逢是故人。 寂寞常嗟难过日，芳菲每叹错容身。 当头请趁相停处，落杏违期自看春。 【<Answer a Friend's Question> Author/Tian Yu Even if the quiet moonlight is sheared to the heart, It's just that it's too short to last long. Judging friendship by the amount of alcohol you drink, It's not as emotional as the old knowledge I met in other places. When lonely, people always want to be quiet. Where is the time flowing to our youth? Now that we meet, we don't have to cover up any more. Let's be happy in spring, a season of flowers.】 ©田宇
