Vechii prieteni –

vântul de primăvară

şi pescăruşul

The old friends –

the spring wind

and the seagull

I vecchi amici –

il vento di primavera

e il gabbiano



Sfârşitul nopţii –

doar ultimul licurici

mai scânteiază

End of the night –

only the last firefly

still twinkling

La fine della notte –

solo l'ultima lucciola

ancora scintilla 


Ultimul reflux

două stele de mare 

se-mbrățișea



The last tide – 

two starfish are embracing

each other

Bassa marea –

due stelle di mare

si abbracciano



Poartă scârţâind –

briza de septembrie

şi numai briza

Creaking gate –

the September breeze

and only the breeze


Cancello scricchiolando -

 la brezza di settembre

e solo la brezza



Calea Lactee –

doar barca pescarului

o mai urmează

Milky Way –

only the fisherman’s boat

follows it

Via Lattea –

solo la barca del pescatore

la segue

Mainichi-Haiku in English

Annual Selection:
BEST OF 2012

Selections and comments by Isamu Hashimoto

Jan. 18, 2012

Thanksgiving day -
the first letter from
the wandering son

Vasile Moldovan (Bucharest, Romania)

Comment: Thank God, there will be a happy reunion sooner or later.
......................
April 16, 2012

Melting snow -
in each puddle
the full moon

Vasile Moldovan (Bucharest, Romania)

Comment: I have seen a lot of puddle haikus, and this full moon is shining anew.
.....................
April 20, 2012

moon above the mosque
the door is closing
stars and whispers...

Paul Dicu (Constanta, Romania)

Comment: The first line excites the traveler's sentiments.
.......................
April 25, 2012

spring thaw -
my right glove lost
in the subway

Cristina-Monica Moldoveanu (Bucharest, Romania)

Comment: For right or left, up or down, north or south, etc., the final decision of choosing the most appropriate words or phrases is very, very important. It's OK to exchange actual situations with other real ones for haiku perfection.
.....................
June 6, 2012

power break -
how clear the sound
of my baby's colic

Cezar F. Ciobica (Botosani, Romania)

Comment: After the huge tsunami disasters, I had a few power cuts in Chiba near Tokyo. In the dim light of a candle, I was forced to pass a few hours remembering the dark nights after World War II and felt rather relieved in using no electric power from the nuclear reactors. In the above haiku, "clear" implies the restoration of human nature.
.....................
Sept. 14, 2012

Customs house -
the sun is setting
in another country

Vasile Moldovan (Bucharest, Romania)
Comment: A taste of real haiku.
.................................
Oct. 20, 2012

night fishery -
a lone swan pecking
the stars

Cezar F. Ciobica (Botosani, Romania)

Comment: Pecking one by one.

Hiver – kigo & rythme libre
Iarna – kigo şi ritm liber

Steliana Voicu

Lune pleine de loups –
Les piedes uses de grand-père
grincent dans la neige

“Wolf Full Moon” expression anglaise pour la lune pleine de janvier

Full Moon Wolf
Picioarele uzate ale bunicului
scârţâie în zăpadă

*Wolf Full Moon expresia  în engleză pentru luna plină în ianuarie

Maria Tirenescu

patins rouillés –
les enfants jouent au football
sur la neige fondue

patine ruginite -
copiii joacă fotbal
pe zăpada topită

Printemps / kigo impose & rithme libre
Les amours des chats
Les bourgeons

Primăvara  / kigo impus şi ritm liber
Iubirea pisicilor
Mugurii

Steliana Voicu

Sur l’asphalte mouillé
les couleurs du ciel lointain –
chatons* disperses

*chatons de saules

Pe asfaltul umed
culorile cerului îndepărtat -
mâţişori împrăştiaţi

Maria Tirenescu

les bourgeons de lilas
sont prêts à éclater –
un coq chante

mugurii de liliac
sunt gata să explodeze -
un cocoş cântă

Saison en rythme
Kigo d’hiver libre ou de printemps imposé
Anotimp în ritm
Kigo de iarnă liber sau de primăvară impus

Maria Tirenescu

le ciel d’hiver –
je cherche un astéroïde
parmi les étoiles

cerul iernii -
caut un asteroid
printre stele
