pearls of dew reflect
an early sunrise

About Masago
- Masago
- Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
- From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

Hototogisu: Thank you for your kind words.

Andrew, Aurora, Floots: Thank you.
Pat: Ah, yes...something a non-morning-person may not appreciate as much. ;-)
Polona: Thank you!
Got into my mind this one:
Shira tsuyu ni
Kaze no fukishiku
Aki no no wa
Tsuranuki-tomenu
Tama zo chiri keru.
THIS lovely morn the dewdrops flash
Like diamonds on the grass--
A blaze of sparkling jewels! But
The autumn wind, alas!
Scatters them as I pass.
(BUNYA NO ASAYASU in Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, nr 37)
My opinion abt the translation is 'awkward'. (The word 'lonely' doesn't appear in original??)But original has got a nice idea, as yours also.
Tikkis: that's nice. Thanks for sharing it.
