parfum d’été
sur le pont d’Avignon
bras enlaçant

parfum d’été
séduire
tous les sens

sur le pont d’Avignon
on y danse
tous en rond

bras enlaçant
désir muet sur ses lèvres
regard sur le Rhône

summer’s fragrance
on the bridge of Avignon
arms entangled

perfume Summer
seducing
every sense

on the bridge of Avignon
dancing
round and round

arms entangled
silent desire on lips
gazing on the Rhone

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

    Implies the desire to confess feelings of love while gazing the distance. Great lines and translation Cheryl!

    1. Thank you, Hank…I translated it after I had published it so my readers could understand, especially those two lines. So glad you you enjoyed it!

    1. I translate it all the same as many don`t think of Google translate and it is never perfect…but pretty good…I wanted to do the troiku justice in English too 🙂
