Haiku of Richard Wright(66)


(photo) autumn leaves

From the scarecrow's sleeve
A tiny green leaf unfolds
On an oaken arm.


案山子の袖
そのオークの腕に
青い葉が一枚生えている


(Hohsai)
案山子の顔をこう書いてやらう

Let's make
The face of the scarecrow
Like this.

■Wright and Hohsai have good sense of humour. In particular, Wright finds humour in the scarecrow itself. I'm very impressed by his oaken scarecrow.
