Flower's shadow

shadows on the flowers -
May sunshine
through wisps of cloud

- hana ni kage kumo no sukima no satsuki-bare
花に影 雲の隙間の五月晴れ

The spring thunder

in the evening,
the spring thunder passed -
many flowers fell

- shunrai no sugishi yûbe ni hana no chiru
春雷の過ぎし夕べに 花の散る

alone in the lunch -
some azalea flowers
in the rain of holidays

A flower season

above all
when the flowers do come out,
people get together

何よりも花が開けば人集う

Plum trees

as I ascend the hill
plum trees blossom -
the sky is blue

すもも咲く丘に登れば空青し

Spring flowers

please take care -
this spring must go away
at any moment
