Carpe Diem #1515 French Haiku (Haiku Francophone)

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Welcome at a new episode of our 6th anniversary month of Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. Here at CDHK we are always busy with haiku in English, but today I have another nice challenge for you. We have arrived at the letter F and to use this letter I have chosen to introduce to you a few haiku in French.

Here are a few examples of haiku in French:

arrière-saison
au milieu du cimetière
mon amie et moi

Look at this haiku it flows like a lovely river, maybe that's the beauty of the French language, because the French are wonderful. years ago as I was a young guy on highschool I had a wonderful teacher for French. She was awesome and she had the power to teach me and my classmates the French language. I loved her lessons.

let me give you the English translation of the above haiku by Angèle Lux:

late season
in the middle of the cemetery
my friend and I

Here are a few other examples of French haiku:

jour de canicule
une mouche espiègle se joue
des mâchoires du chien

hot day
a mischievous fly is played
jaws of the dog

Dans mon jardin
la plante d’une amie chère
qui s’accroche à la vie

In my garden
the plant of a dear friend
who clings to life

Another (last) French haiku about Spring:

pluie printanière
son parapluie à mon bras
pleurs silencieux

spring rain
his umbrella on my arm
silent crying

What is your (our) task for today? Well I love to challenge you to create haiku in another language than you are doing mostly here at CDHK for example: are you from Poland, please share a haiku in Polish (of course if possible with an English translation)

I am living in The Netherlands so here is a haiku in Dutch:

koude dageraad
een laatste blad valt
de eerste sneeuw

cold dawn
a last leaf falls
the first snow

A wonderful task I think. Enjoy!

This episode is open for your submissions tonight at 7:00 PM (CEST) and will remain open until October 11th at noon (CEST). I will try to publish our new episode, the first weekend meditation, later on. For now ... have fun!

PS.: I hope to publish the Troiku Kukai 2nd edition judging later this week.

Share your haiku in your own language with us all here at our Haiku Kai.
