Season of the Sea of Clouds 2010

November 17, 2010


sea of clouds -
my life in the middle
of nowhere

Below, all gone in white mist, on the horizon a few mountain tops with yellow and orange trees, above the sky covered in gray clouds but then
a sudden burst of pink spotlight, just one !

Next the whole cloudy sky turning pink.
Then the white valley mist suddeny lifting high up, as if pushed by a magic wind blower.

early morning -
an extra pink line
on the horizon



above the unkai sea of clouds, there is an extra pink line ...
autumn is coming fast now

autumn dusk

autumn dusk -
the shadows in my valley
deepen

aki fukaki haijin wa nani o kaku hito zo

autumn deepens -
I wonder what my haiku friends
are writing right now

Gabi
.

aki fukaki tonari wa nani o suru hito zo
Basho


and about Basho, we know
http://wkdkigodatabase03.blogspot.com/2007/11/autumn-deepens-aki-fukashi.html



Basho lived in a place where the space to the neighbuor was just one thin wall and he could hear everything from next-door (next-wall, so to say). But beyond the thin wall, Basho could also hear the deepening autumn as his neighbour, so to day, in space.


autumn deepens
and I wonder,
what is my neighbour doing?

Tr. Gabi Greve, inspired by Hasegawa Kai

QUOTE finding hope

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


When things are bad,
we take comfort in the thought
that they could always be worse.

And when they are,
we find hope in the thought
that things are so bad
they have to get better.

Malcolm S. Forbes

little crab

morning walk - a little crab stares at me

She was sitting in the middle of the road.
I picked her up
and put her in the shadow of some weeds.

her magic tea

so I am home alone, for better or worse.

Some oldies from 2003


A Millionairs Morning

ruby red tail
bird on a branch
in white snow

melting snow
dripping diamonds
from each branch

early sunrays
mere molehills turn
golden mountains

<>

Morgen eines Millionaers

Rubinroter Schwanz
Vogel auf einem Ast
In weissem Schnee

Schmelzender Schnee
Tropfende Diamanten
Von jedem Ast

Fruehe Sonnenstrahlen
Ein Maulwurfshuegel wird
Zum Goldenen Berg.

And all of this within 30 minutes.
We are all SOOO rich!
