Today is the International Haiku Day, the Australian Haiku Society is celebrating International Haiku Poetry Day by holding a String on the
theme of ‘Solitude’. "By sharing our haiku we can connect with each
other, even in these days of social distancing, self-isolation and
working and studying from home," they say on their home page - link provided me by the Danish Haiku Group.
I am afraid I cannot be pessimistic for long even though time and subject call for it.
Here are my haiku and a Danish rewording:
Flowers are blooming
Gardening things calling
I must stay inside.
Through my big window,
I greet my neighbours and smile,
We share a cuppa.
Teddies everywhere
for children to seek and find
Bear necessity.

Blomsterne spirer
Haveredskaber kalder,
jeg bliver inde.
Gennem vinduet
ser jeg mine naboer,
Vi løfter koppen.
Bamser overalt
Børn, der leder og finder
Ét er nødvendigt.
Hooray for Hopeful Haiku.
