Dedicated to my adorable Carla
for whispering the secrets

1

a busy ant
loses its way
among my haiku

seangán gnóthach
ag dul amú
i measc mo chuid haiku

2

long days of rain –
the gurgle of frogs ripens
the little rice field

laethanta fada báistí
goirtín ríse á aibiú
ag gliog gliog na bhfroganna

3

inside a bus
this housefly knows nothing
of where it is going

istigh i mbus
is gan tuairim ag an gcuil tí
cá bhfuil a triall

4

heavy rain
a crow and a sparrow
share the window ledge

báisteach throm
roinneann préachán is gealbhan
leac na fuinneoige

5

in tears
a sick child
stares at the rain

deora léi –
páiste tinn
ag stánadh ar an mbáisteach

6

monsoon rain –
walking by the dump
smell of jasmine

báisteach mhonsúin –
ag siúl cois an dumpa
boladh na seasmaine

7

rain
ants gather
under a mushroom

báisteach
dáil na seangán
faoi mhuisiriún

8

cén gá le clog
is cónaí ort cois coille –
cuacha

living near woods
no need of an alarm –
cuckoos

9

ploughing the rice field -
birds squabbling
over earthworms

gort ríse á treabhadh –
éanlaith in achrann le chéile
i dtaobh péisteanna

10

the rickshaw boy
waiting for a customer
falls asleep

an giolla ricseá
ag feitheamh le custaiméir
titeann dá shuan
