ほっかりと曇天ともす街灯の鶸色（ひわいろ）にして芽桜に添ふ lightly floating ... street lamps in vernal color lighting up the cloudy sky accompany buds of sakura ©2019Rika Inami稲美 里佳 --------------------- 香山望海有叹》 文/田宇 四表光华生万象，波澜只望复何如？ 云中有限空劳雁，海上无穷不足鱼。 日月为风真可远，乾坤乃气实堪虚。 新人故夜清寒句，未入桑田竟入书。 【<Looking at the Sea in Xiangshan City> Author/Tian Yu The prosperity on all sides makes people feel surging. But what if the endless waves can't be in my hands? As far as I can see, the clouds in the sky are not as high as a goose. Although the sea is endless, it is not as good as swimming fish swimming far. The sun and the moon can be seen as a gust of wind and light farther away. Heaven and earth are just like air. A young man like me wrote poems on an ancient land. I don't want it to be immortal. I just want someone to understand it.】 ©田宇 -------------------------- 街灯の灯りは薄く鶸色で溶け込む街に桜の若芽 ©Ryuuji Suwa ---------------------- night fell on the streets.. filled the world with d

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

    昨日はとても良く晴れ、久しぶりにすっきりとした鳥海山を見ることができました。 実は車を運転していいる時に見た鳥海山に感動し、帰宅後、昼食を摂ったあとに写真が撮れる地点まで戻って撮りました。     Yesterday  , March 9th. 2019,   was fine very much .   I could see the beautiful Mt. Chokai for the first time in a while during winter.　 However, it was while driving.  I was so fascinated with it that I backed to the place to enable me to take pictures of Mt.

Thank you so much, Mr. Steve Wilkinson. I feel honored. イギリスの Steve Wilkinson 氏が編集発行されている短詩集<The Bumboo Hut Spring 2019>にこの度、拙作短歌が紹介されました。以下が掲載された５首です。日本語版と写真は、<The Bumboo Hut Spring 2019>には掲載されていません。こちらの投稿に際し、独自に付けました。写真は私の朝の散歩コースや秋田県湯沢市高松で撮りました。 実は、３年以上前にも<The Bamboo Hut>に掲載されたことがあり、そちらはAmazonでも販売されています。 * 1 にほふばかりにカクタスの花びらの揺れ聖夜に永遠(とわ)の音かなでむ * petals vibrating with fragrance in air … Christmas Cactus plays the chord of eternity at holy night * 2 おほよそは流るることと拘らず我が欠落せしの闇なるか * I don’t stick to most things because they will flow away … the dark of my missing part * 3 すり減りし我が魂の消えゆかん霧ふかきなか底なしの無へ * dense mist … being worn away my spirit fading away into the bottomless void * 4 君に添ひ在るを幸とす我が生よ君もはや此の世に在らずも * my happiness … accompanying you I go on living even though you already left this world * 5 ことごとく無に帰るごと雪降りて天地一色白に和合す * as if all returned to the void snow falls silently … heaven and earth joining mutually and becoming
