The summer grasses. All that remains Of warriors’ dreams.

The time of grain rain

The trees have tiny flowers

Yellow and white blooms

In this glacial world will I ever find a place who could warm my heart?

Three Japanese poems

Collected from 上級へのとびら, Chapter 13. Semi-literal translations by me.

俳句　（はいく, haiku）

菜の花や月は東に日は西に　

　与謝蕪村　（Yosa Buson）

菜の花、なのはな　= rapeseed blossom 東、ひがし = east 西、にし = west

translation:  “rapeseed blossoms, moon in the east, sun in the west”

短歌　（たんか, short poem with 5-7-5-7-7 rhythm）

「寒いね」と話しかければ「寒いね」と答える人のいるはあたたかさ 

　俵万智 （Tawara Machi）

寒い、さむい　= cold 答える　= to answer あたたかさ　= warmth

translation: “When asking 'It’s cold, isn’t it?’ The person answering ‘Yes, it’s cold’, is the warmth”

川柳　（せんりゅう = senryū, comic haiku)

明日やろうそう考えるバカ野郎

　すぐにやれない人

明日野郎、あすやろう　= I’ll do it tomorrow 考える　= to think バカ野郎, バカやろ　= idiot

translation: “Who thinks ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ is an idiot” by ‘Person who can’t do things right away’.
