Ryokan-ki ... Ryokan Memorial Day。。。 良寛忌
Ryokan Day .. Ryokan-ki, Ryokan Memorial Day (Japan)
the wise fool
living as a hermit
dreaming of toys
master Ryokan
begging for his food
with a playful mind
Ryokan the monk
spent his life in the snow
teaching children
playing with children
during his begging rounds
laughing to himself
in his hermitage
drinking wine with friends
after a walk
Ryokan ceremony
in the Entsuu-Ji temple
the scent of tea
Ryokan seems foolish
but the road is very wide
I take a plane
on his first draft
a Ryokan Daruma doll
and a walking stick
the monk-poet
walks the roads of the poor
as a wise fool
hide and seek
playing with children
hidden for days
Soto Zen teachings
in the snow country
writing poetry
in the forest
just four walls and a roof
pretty icecold
Ryokan
exchanging love poems
Teishin blushes
he is dying
our dear master Ryokan
Teishin holds him
a loft of pigeons
above the statue of Ryokan
plop! plop!
an American-
talking Buddha
about Jezus
joy of life
moment after moment
holding your hand

in his first dream
to much saké

Fan (oogi, uchiwa, Japan)
painted on
a Japanese folding fan
an other fan
her fan
is made of sandalwood
unique fragrance
dark gray with a
black-colored framework
her mourning fan
in the crib
her fishnet stocking
and a twirling fan
on trial
behind her hand fan
a jeering laugh
the mother
sings a cradlesong
fanning her baby
not cooling me
the breeze of her fan
inviting eyes

In Flanders:
schommel, ren, rènne, rènder, juttekoko, rudekakkokke, balansiere, bijlutse, ritse, touter, bieze baise, rush
an empty swing
in rocking motion
that gusty wind
rocking swing
the wind is changing
spring day
on the swing
mother and daughter
in colorful robes
after midnight
the crunching of chaines
a cat on the swing
romping
on the swings
the storm
sitting on a swing
after a drinking spree
splitting headache
swinging
the world spins around
don't get up
don't press me
sitting on a swing
with a hangover

.. .. .. RAIN
two monks
no other master
than the rain
beggarly pilgrims
walking in the rain
fragrant grasses
.. .. .. ..
he sings upstream
with a very wet voice
the summer rain
he saw her dancing
near the railroad station
drunk in the cold rain
the toddler
sings a lullaby
for the rain
her rain song
masked by the thunder
lightning strikes
in the pouring rain
soaking wet in her clogs
the clumsy woman
shivering with cold
in her blue raincoat
a farmer's wife
outside
the persistent rain
I take to my bed

7 ' BALVENIE' haiku (senryu)
nosing and tasting
he smells honeyed sweetness
on the malting floor
the casks
are hand-bottled
with a chaser
nutty dryness
his smooth single malt
after the burial
oak casks
from various parts of the world
see you in my dreams
underpinned
by a honeyed character
her single malt
oaky notes
the taste of her kisses
flavour of whisky
the perfume
of fruity and ripe raisin
kiss me again
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hot Whiskey
Hot Whiskey (Toddy, Irish Coffee)
he shovels snow
in his tappit-hen
a hot whisky
warm-blooded
by her pretty legs
and a hot whisky
a shot of whisky
in a cup of hot cocoa
and your memories
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Rumpot
Rumpot (Rumtopf) Germany
perfume of rum
after to much punch
no more punch
a broken rumpot
after the wild party
with a hung
Hot Drinks
Hot Drinks, a List
hot milk
for my bad fit of coughing
mum adds a whisky
a hot toddy
with a big cognac
his poor head
drink a hot toddy
and then take to your bed
does your head spin
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Some Haiku in German
Tierenteyn
echter Senf aus Gent
kühl aufbewaren
Wasser und Berge
Nebel streicht über die Steppe
Gebetsfahne
Farben der Steppe
in der unendlichen Weite
galoppieren
Steppenlandschaft
Pferde galoppieren
wie der Wind
Kinder Weinen
kein Windhauch
Sturm kommt auf
Gartenbücher
farbenreich und verträumt
Tee trinken
In deinem Garten
die quarkenden Frösche
und Meditation
Shakuhachi
im Garten deiner Träume
der Geist der Stille
Erinnerungen
zusammen schlafen
Steingartenstille
Der helle Klang
das Reiben eines Weinglases
Tagträumer
Eine Totenstille
die Instrumente pausieren
Blockflöten flüstern
Die Amsel pfeifen
am frühen Morgen
blöder Hund
Am Horizont
trunken von Weite
die Amazone
Regenschauer
durch die Pfützen spritzen
heimlich
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Shakuhachi
feathery
the early-morning fog
and the shakuhachi
a shakuhachi
ripplings in the pond
by a koi
Shakuhachi
im Garten deiner Träume
der Geist der Stille
