Haiku of Ricard Wright(59)


(photo)summer festival

Gusty autumn rain
Swinging a yellow lantern
Over wet catttle.


突然の激しい秋雨が
黄色いランタンを揺らしている
濡れた牛の上


(放哉)
いつ迄も忘れられた儘で黒い蝙蝠傘

A black umbrella-
Having been abandoned
For a long time.

■Wright's haiku has a beautiful scene, but it is common as a haiku work. On the other hand, Hohsai's haiku can make us feel the shadow of rain by showing an abandoned black umbrella.
