Miss Daisy

would you like to have

雛菊さん

エスプレッソを

ご一緒に

the first strong wind

the first strong south wind blows

the winter filed

turned into a carpet of small blue flowers

春一番　路肩は小花のじゅうたんに

***

on tiptoe

approach a white-eye on Ume tree

flies away

***

髪に目に

洗礼受ける

春一番

Light

soft ligt on

shallows of a pond

a small reflection

frog eggs

lying

池の底

卵がきらり

水温む

First butterfly

morning

humming along a path

a butterfly appears

rest on fallen leaves

hello, my first butterfly

***

the first butterfly

flits back-and-forth

goes ahead of me

初蝶は行きつ戻りつ我を抜く

Your profile

at the sunset

see you profile

wonder what you are thinking

Bad hair

bad hair

smell of rain

in the wind

髪はねて

風に雨水の

気配かぐ

Winnow

the south wind

winnows beach sand from seashells

a child

winnows pink ones out

...after that?

a Camellia

with a morning dew

a camellia

falls

朝露を抱いて椿の花や落つ

Cloudy Sunday

Between the sun and me, altostratus

your snoring, a crow caws, snoring

Retrograde

a political party
starts retrograde
as soon as it comes to power

go retorograde or prograde
it's your choice
If you would listen to me
I prefer retorograde
wanna see your face from the front

Saturday morning, boorish

warm Saturday morning, lazily watch fishing boats on calm sea

***

boorish spring wind

tangled my hair

with yours

Full moon

full moon night

have a drink together

with my silhouette

影法師 杯酌み交わす月夜かな

Snowy morning

snowy morning

a kingfisher and I

both thickly dressed

雪の朝 鳥も私も 着膨れす

Tsunami

a seagull cries

when

earth's crust moved at the deep bottom of sea

seawater's heaved to

Tsunami

Flip-flap

flip-flap

a frog

crawls out of his winter bed

 I

pulled out my last year painting

Release

When

Mother Earth released her breath

speedwells twinkle

shepherd's purses rustle

in yesterday's withered field

Spring snow

already thawed

runs through a downpipe

spring snow

はや溶けて雨どい走る春の雪

***

letters

on the surface of snow

wish the person luck

***

land on my umbrella

trembling a drop falls

spring snow

傘に落ち雫と変わる春の雪

After the snow

sky's blue

spills out

a Persian speedwell

空の青 零れて咲けり犬ふぐり

after Saint Valentine's Day

find

spring love

バレンタイン過ぎて見つけた春の恋

The beach in early spring

footprints on the beach

think about an illecebrous bird

with azure feather

like

early spring sky

~illecebrous~

http://loqwacious.blogspot.com/2011/02/illecebrous.html

***

sunny but the wind is cold

brown seaweed

clatters in the beach

陽はあれど浜吹く風は冷たくて 朝採り若布カラカラと鳴る

***

early spring

seawater is too cold to dabble

play with own reflection

on the water's edge

Ume blossom

sweet scent on the breeze

proceed a muddy path

an Ume blossom in full bloom

***

風にのる 香り訪ねて 梅探る

the first day of spring

in the early afternoon

children are playing

merrily in the spring sun

an ear of a sleeping dog

flaps

立春の昼下がり

はしゃぐ子の声

寝ている犬の

 耳

 ぴくり

***

the first day of spring

barefoot children

play at the riverside

春立ちて 子ども裸足で 川遊び

a Magnolia bud

at a tip of a magnolia branch

a fluffy bud shines

spring is comming

枝先の 綿毛きらめき 春近し
