Yamamoto Ryökan

shirt today
reminds me
the crucifixion

astazi camasa
imi aduce aminte
de rastignire

opening incubator,
twenty chicks

the gray cat
watching the rain,
like a stoic philosopher

hop up, hop down
how would I fly with you
my little butterfly!

hop sus, hop jos
ce-as mai zbura si eu cu tine
fluture drag!

Interesting experiments - I'm always unsure how well the haiku fits with English structures but you have done a good job here. It's also refreshing to see another language alongside the English version. Keep experimenting! These make good reading and open up new horizons for us!
