Dripping Rain

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dripping Rain

ama-dare no  .......... 雨だれの
ootsubu kotsubu  .......... 大粒小粒
sugi no eda  ..........  杉の枝




dripping rain
in big drops, small drops –
a cedar branch

Regen -
grosse Tropfen, kleine Tropfen
vom Zedernast


....................................................................................................





ame no ito

tera no yane kara
ochi ni keri

strings of rain
from the temple roof
down, down




rain dripping
from a temple roof
inspirations



Iyashi no Haiku, Healing Haiku, was the inspiration.



................................ . . powerful rainstorm
................................ . . the silence of strangers
................................ . . under one roof

the main temple's roof
dripping long raindrops...
evening cool


hondoo no naga amadare ya yuusuzumi

本堂の長雨だれや夕涼

by Issa, 1818

An amadare is an eavesdrop: a large drop of water falling from a roof's overhang.

Hi Gabi,

The photo is beautiful.
I think this is exactly Issa's image, except that his scene takes place in the evening.

長雨だれや
dripping long raindrops

この行が大変気になります。
長い「雨だれ]で何を一茶は言いたかった
のでしょうか?
