Dawn breathes good morning
the robin spreads its wings
breakfast is the worm

l’aube respire bon matin
l’hirondelle étend ses ailes
brunch au petit ver

Vent doux caressant
corps brulant et bronzé
fraicheur délassée

brise venant de l’océan
somnifère d’été

Kids giddy with joy
staying up late to play
Summer Solstice.

All night bonfires
singing, dancing, having fun
Summer Solstice.

Tilling the soil,
cultivating the earth
life renewed.

Mother Earth
bestows sustenance
life renewed.

Rejoice in life
fires blaze and celebrate
promising season.

(Tanka)

Sleepless children
longer days, shorter nights
full-house in the summertime
parents miss intimacy
steeling quickies now and then.

délassé sur la rive

les petits plongent dans le lac

comblé dans l’eau fraiche

  Carpe Diem Haiku Kai #485 Oneness 

Oneness makes me think on so many varied situations that do create a sense of harmony, unity, to be ONE.  Here are my humble thoughts.

 

la pomme tombe

embrasse le gazon

le ver grignote

 

l’hirondelle attend

guette le ver au sol

repas de vainqueur.

 

mélodie soupire

amoureux fleurent la flamme

danse langoureusement    

 

nouveau-né pleure

nourrit au sein de sa mère

harmonie.

 

fallen apple

kissed the grass

worm nibbles. 

 

robin waits

sees the worm below

victor`s feast. 

 

new-born whimpers

nurses at his mother`s breast

oneness 

 

sultry music croons

steamy lovers feel the heat

slow dancing.

le baiser – Kissing (Haiku -Carpe Diem 484 )

Elle regard coquinement
cils invitant leur baiser,
leurs lèvres touchent à peine.

Looks up demurely
lashes inviting their first kiss,
lips barely touching

I would have liked to add 2 lines as a Tanka to the English version:

(tanka)

Looks up demurely
lashes inviting their first kiss,

lips barely touching
she leans into him – wanting
surrenders to a slow kiss.
