Haiku of RICHARD WRIGHT(42)

(Original)
Seen from a hilltop,
Shadowy in winter rain,
A man and his mule.


(Japanese version)
丘の上から見ると
冬の雨の中
幻のように人とラバ



(Hosai）
白壁雨のあとある

(English version)
On a white wall
Marks of rain.

■The haiku of Wright has a scene in winter rain. The rain blurs the distinction between reality and shadow. In the case of Hosai, he expresses marks of rain without seeing real falling rain. This is also shadowy.
