1

white salon

and the same piano

like back then —

I have time for a waltz

maybe you’ll come

x

salonul alb

și același pian

ca atunci –

mai am timp pentru un vals,

poate vii

2

abandoned horse

in a snowy field —

I hear

the loneliness galloping

softly around

x

cal abandonat

pe-un tăpșan cu zăpadă

împrejmuită –

singurătatea sună

a galop în surdină

3

boat facing the sky

from the bottom of the sea —

your lost shadow

and mine

awaiting each other

x

în adâncul mării

o barcă întoarsă

cu fața spre cer –

două umbre se-așteaptă:

a ta de ieri, a mea de mâine

4

black clouds

chasing a muddled bird

with no mate —

if I turned around

you might think I’m crying

x

s-au strâns nori

hăituind o pasăre

fără pereche –

daca m-aș întoarce

ai putea crede că plâng

5

black oil slick

washed up on the beach —

looking

in the dead dolphin’s eye

I see a part of me

X

mareea neagră

s-a întins lăbărțat

pe plajă –

în ochiul delfinului mort   

văd o parte din mine

Tanka Society Of America - Ribbons Spring/Summer 2018

this pressed flower

still stirs me...

if I were a leaf,

I'd become your book mark

after death

 

xxx

 

floarea presată

încă mă mai tulbură...

dac-aș fi frunză,

ți-aș rămâne semn de carte

după moarte

PLOC - La revue du haïku n ° 73 - Juin 2018

la super lune

dans une goutte de rosée-

les grillons rient aux éclats

super luna

într-un bob de rouă -

greierii râd în hohote

Butterfly Dream

First English-Chinese Bilingual Haiku and Tanka Blog

https://neverendingstoryhaikutanka.blogspot.com/ 

refugee tent --
a girl calls a butterfly
by her mom’s name
They Gave Us Life: Celebrating Mothers, Fathers & Others in Haiku

Chinese Translation (Traditional)
難民帳篷 --
一位女孩用媽媽的名字
呼喚一隻蝴蝶
Chinese Translation (Simplified)
难民帐篷 --
一位女孩用妈妈的名字
呼唤一只蝴蝶

 "L1 establishes the setting and sociopolitical context while the unexpected yet emotionally poignant last line lifts the haiku out of the ordinary. And the symbolically rich image of a flitting butterfly could offer two different readings".

                               Chen-ou Liu

One Man's Maple Moon: 66

Selected English-Chinese Bilingual Tanka, Volume Four.
Chen-ou Liu has selected one of my tanka for this going to be published Anthology.


a homeless man
who was playing a flute
on the street corner
fell suddenly in the rain --
a donor card in his pocket

The Bamboo Hut Spring 2018 - Journal of tanshi

no​ ​solution

for​ ​the​ ​ice​ ​bridge

between​ ​us -

a​ ​plow​ ​blade ​​is​ ​cutting

the​ ​arteries​ ​of​ ​the​ ​city 

nici o soluție

pentru podul de gheață

dintre noi -

lama plugului taie

arterele târgului

2

 

the sun          

has left no blade

of grass –

my fresh wounds

lying on a stone

soarele 

nu mi-a lăsat

nici un fir de iarbă -

rănile mele crude

întinse pe o piatră

 3

two boats

drifting at sea

forever bonded -

I anchor for good

in your ghost-port

două bărci

legate împreună

duse de valuri -

ancorez definitiv

în portul tău imaginar
