splish-splash (haiku)

We are asked to translate in our own words the famous haiku by Basho:

furu ike ya kawazu tobikomu mizu no oto
the old pond;
a frog jumps in —
the sound of the water

Every time I read this haiku I see and here this:

splash
a frog jumps
rings melt

and translated in French:

splish-splash
une grenouille saute
des cercles s’étendent

time floats (haibun)

She struggles to be on time at work but for dinners, parties, outings, she is usually late. She prefers to say, fashionably late. Being a night person and working late shifts, means late morning rise, working into the night.

nightly reflections
slow-dancing with her muse
kissing dawn goodnight

Daily Moments Feb 6/16 – une colombe (Haibun)

Elle savait que sa mère, Colombe, qui aimait tous les enfants de tous âges, accueillera ce nouvel ange. Cela la consolait sachant que peut-être qu’elle sera là parmi sa famille qui ont déjà traversés au delà…

délaçant ses ailles
accueillant ce nouvel ange
cette colombe

*****************

She knew her mother, Colombe, who loved children of all ages would be one of many to welcome this new angel. It comforted her knowing that perhaps, she really was there among his family who have already crossed over…

unlacing her wings
welcoming this new angel
this white dove
