Haiku for sunflower

Posted on August 5, 2013

About a decade ago, I wrote Haiku themed by sunflower. Every summer the flowers grow in the field as singing the praise of dazzling youth’s days. Reversely I am declining the late days of the life. But still now research is never gotten at least the smallest level achievement. French poet ever sang, ” So long, the short summer light.” Really summer goes by quicker than you can say it.

        Himawari no

　　 Yichinichi ten ni

       Chikazukeri　

      <Translation>

         Here the sunflower

         comes close to heaven

         for one day’s growth
