affligée par la vie

penchant sur la rive

larmes en cascades

& 

tous les peines

déversent en abondances

chutes acceuillent

& 

craintes, peines

répands en cascades

paisible

 

flexibility

rooftops, concrete buildings

city waterfalls

 

river flows

emotions over dams

waterfalls

waterfalls

imitate

tears

 &

river holds

lamenting grief

waterfall

 &

river listens

waterfalls

drown regrets

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

  1. You were inspired Cheryl Lynn, what a wonderful series of haiku, I like those French ones, but your English haiku are awesome. Thank you for sharing in this haiku-reprise feature.

    1. thank you, Kristjaan, I am practicing every day and reading so I think that helps:) I do prefer the English ones too but I felt bad that I had not tried French enough. I will wait to purchase a book translated by Lanoue who has French and English translations on Haiku.

      2. David Gerard Lanoue had several translations…one I saw yesterday at Amazon Haiku if the matters in english, French, German and Spanish. The best prices are in the US though…there are many e books but I want an illustrated book. I ordered a few yesterday.

    1. The reader didn’t show the English portion of the post, but for some reason I got a glimpse of the last comment when I sent my mine. So I opened up the whole post and was able to see your haiku in English too!
