For: Carpe Diem #777 kingyo (goldfish)
引越しのたびに大きくなる金魚
hikkoshi no tabi ni ookiku naru kingyo
every time we move
the goldfish
grows bigger
五月雨に金魚銀魚のきげん哉
samidare ni kingyo ginyo no kigen kana
in Fifth Month rain –
feeling like silver
or goldfish
along the canal
gazing at the mirror-like water
my first catch
my first catch
the line almost breaks
a gold carp
a gold carp
hooked at my fishing line –
mouth watering
Chevrefeuille (2013)
koi san mo koi wazurai aru ka yoru atsushi
can a carp
get love-sick?
hot summer night
(his haiku is chock-full of word play – as “koi” can be “koi, the carp 鯉”or “koi, the love 恋”. )
an orange flash
and then – only green –
was that a koi?
