The old pond
A frog jumps in —
The sound of the water.

--

Nel vecchio stagno
una rana si tuffa -
Rumore d'acqua.

Over the wintry
forest, winds howl in rage
with no leaves to blow.

Mist before the peak -
the dream
Goes on

Over the mountain bright
the full white moon now smiles . . .
On the flower-thief

O luna del monte,
illumina la via
al ladro dei fiori.

The pond and the river
have become one,
In the spring rain,

Si mescolano
il lago e il fiume
nella pioggia di primavera.

I am certain I saw
the spirits of stones.

di certo, è uscito
lo spiritello della pietra.

The wind of Mt. Fuji
I've brought on my fan!
a gift from Edo.

Il vento del fuji
nel mio ventaglio
porto in dono a Edo

Tende che si muovono,
Pioggia di primavera.

No sky
no earth - but still
snowflakes fall

I am one
Who eats his breakfast,
Gazing at morning glories.

Covered with the flowers,
Instantly I'd like to die
In this dream of ours!

I kill an ant
and realize my three children
have been watching.

the mirror I stare into
shows my father's face.

The summer river:
although there is a bridge, my horse
goes through the water.

My Life in Haiku.. by Alberto Savoi
In:

Haiku 15 August 2009
























Near a hiking trail,

some sweet blueberries turn azure

the quiet forest.

(Alberto Savoi)




Vicino al sentiero montano,

mirtilli tingono di azzurro

la foresta silenziosa.

(Alberto Savoi)

The river at dusk

slowly boat, direction home

shadows and colors

(Alberto Savoi)




Il fiume la sera
.
lenta la barca, direzione casa,

ombre e colori

A man in the rain,

the vegetable garden -

hard countryside life.

(Alberto Savoi)




Un uomo sotto la pioggia


lavora al suo orto -

dura vita rurale.

(Alberto Savoi)
