Haiku

シンガポール時間で8月9日になりました。
独立記念日(国慶節)、おめでとうございます。

自国を愛する心なくして 他国の文化を尊重することはできません。

a worker's haiku

みんなさん、
はいくをかくの
むずかしい！
this is not so good, but it was fun since it come out when in the chat we tried impromptu haiku

[Yudan Taiteki]

短歌でもいいかな。

山登りて、散りける桜を見てよめる

春霞
たなびく山の
隠されど
来れば散る花
我を疎むらむ

（文法は多分違う...orz)

EDIT: Feeling inspired, so one more try:

春立つ日によめる

心にも
春立ちけりと
知らましや
この梅が枝に
雪は降りつつ

うんん.....私は紀貫之じゃない。^^;

[xhilononi234]

心の火
僕に話すよ
声を聞く

kokoro no hi
boku ni hanasu yo
koe wo kiku

(My) soul's fire,
It speaks to me!
I hear (it's) voice.

yes i skipped over some grammar to fit the sylable requirements but i think it should be understandable (hopefully) since the Japanese do sometimes leave out particles when speaking quickly. (no, i don't know all of the kanji used, i looked them up o.o well, i guess i'll have to learn them now o.o)

「１と１」　社名の由来は　「今いちど」

春の風　あらたなる地に　種を撒く

----移転騒動を詠む

[Kirankiran]

I love to write poetry, and my signature is actually a Japanese-style poem following the rule 5-7-5-7-7. But I don't write in Japanese, since I'm not that good. Here's some Haiku, in English:

The cloak of the night,
Carries the moon in its folds:
The eye of the gods.

The petal of spring,
Floats to the gurgling stream:
Where are you going?

[loganbell]

秋の声
落ち葉枯ます
赤ゆう

aki no koe
ochiba karemasu
akai yuu

Autumn's voice,
Fallen leaves wither,
Red evenings.

i think thats right...
I made the kanji bigger because ut was like impossible to read in its currnet size

[Yudan Taiteki]

The only problem is that "yuu" is not a stand-alone word meaning "evening"; some poetic license is fine, but I would personally suggest "aka yuube" (赤夕べ), which is a little closer to what might be a real Japanese word.

Poetry is too complicated for me

この花は
はかなき事の
あやまりだ

[ss]

Papa, こんにちは。

I love this haiku. It has real honesty about it, so close, so deep, so real, so beautiful, yet so ephemeral.

I would imagine この花は being your ここ姫. I miss her very very much, hoping and praying to see her return. Can this come true if I pray so?

[AJBryant]

Saaaa...

We can hope.

I'll drop her a line and see how she's doing.

I have to admit that I saw the phrase "hakanaki no ayamari" in Genji, and thought it was a great concept: "an apology for a slight (I have made against you)." You know me. I love the classics.
