1117 Italian Haikus Poem by John Knight
1117 Italian Haikus
Italian is a language equally as beautiful as Latin. I fact Italian is the European Language that is the closest to Latin. This is not surprising when you consider that the capitl of Italy id Roma! It is the vowel endings that makes Italian - Spanish and Portuguese poetry so flowing and Romantic when it is recited. If you can pronounce Italian just recite these Italian Haikus and see how beautiful they sound. Againg I will give a translation to help you appreciate the essence of each Haiku.
LUNA PIENA
IL VENTO NEL MIO CUORE
VUOTO SOFFIA
Full Moon
The wind blows through
My empty heart
DOPO LA PIOGGIA
SUI FILI IL SOLE STENDE
TREMULE PERLE
After the storm - sunshine
Has strung the washline
With Quivering pearls
MISTERIOSO E ALTERO
NELLA FOSCHIA D'ARGENTO
NOVILUNIO D'INVERNO - ALTERO
Mysterious and unnnattainable
Through the silver mist
Winter's New Moon.
SPERDUTA - LA GRU
CHE COSTRRUISCE CITTA
PER FARSI IL NIDO
The crane - forlorn
Searches the City
To find its nest.
(John Knight - Colchester - November 2009)
Another lovely expressive form for Haikus John - - - excellent work - - Fay
You really excel at this form. The explanation note is also much appreciated. All the Romance languages seem beautiful, when you listen to them. I enjoy listening to a song called The Waters of March by Elis Regina, and even though it is entirely in Portuguese and I can't understand a word of it, her voice singing so perfectly along with the music is totally addictive. You can find it on youtube.
