garden Buddha

morning rain washes away

the snow

[First published at Temps libres]

Here's how it goes in Serge Tome's translation

Bouddha de jardin

la pluie du matin lave

la neige

Devika Jyothi said...: Budha seems caught in too much wind, snow and rain...hope he's clean enough to have the sunshine on him :)

Good one, Bill

Bill said...: Good idea, tikkis.

Magyar, we might start a trend. Let's check with tikkis on whether this will ever replace the sauna.

Thanks for that, Vaughn. I'll add it to my file.

Everything changes, Devika, and Buddha is the change in all the changing.

I guess we can all use it, John.

Thanks, my friends.; 6:13 AM

Masago said...: Bill,

I actullay missed a letter:

gxardeno Budho
mateno pluvo lavas
la negxon fore

And if your browser shows it:

ĝardeno Budho
mateno pluvo lavas
la neĝon fore

(there should be little hats over the g's in the 1st & last lines); 7:32 PM

Juhani Tikkanen said...: Puutarhan Buddha
aamun sade huuhtelee
lumet pois

5-7-3; I should like to add word kana as the Japanese do when there is not enough syllables in L3, but that kana means nothing in Finnish .-(

I wrote a story to my Finnish blog:

and made one variation :-(

Morning garden --
stony Buddha
washing up; 5:55 AM
Bill said...: I guess we all do, Gillena.

We can certainly use it, Devika.

Great to hear from you, lyn.

Thanks for the correction, Vaughn.

Thank you, gautami.

And thanks for that translattion, tikkis.; 7:54 PM
Devika Jyothi said...: "Using" --??
that seems an odd word to go with Budhism, Bill

could be just my own odd thought!

wallpaper said...: it's great; 9:00 PM
J. Andrew Lockhart said...: I like both. :); 9:28 PM
Bill said...: "use it": that is it will do us good. An American idiom, I suspect, Devika.

Thanks, wallpaper and Andrew.; 8:46 AM
Devika Jyothi said...: Oh its too fine, dear Bill...
perhaps my habit of reading too much where its unwarranted....and when it strikes I can't help myself to keep shut! :)
