5 haikus of the summer

My old mother
returned from the grave
The hair is white

(In japanese)
Bosan yori
kaeru roubo no
kami shiroku
-----------------------

Fruit of trees, still green
But, it's coming up autumn;
the cold hidding in the air

(In japanese)
Kigi no mi no
mada aoku site
shin-ryou kana
-----------------------

The wind has blown;
fallen down the pampas grass
A shrine appears

(In japanese)
kaze tachinu
susuki taoreshi
midou ari
-----------------------

The moon overflowes
from the cup of 'sake';
alone in a rural inn

(In japanese)
Sakazuki ni
tsuki afure keri
hina no yado
-----------------------

Suddenly, a hawk tears
azure of sky into shreds
without sound

(In japanese)
oto mo naku
ootaka ao wo
saki ni keri
