On the commute


I sometimes translate things into Turkish for fun.

Kırmızı bir güneş
Denize düşüyor
Ne yaz sıcaklığı!

A red sun
Falls into the sea
What summer heat!


Ay yüksek
Erik çiçeği gölgeler
Yastığımın üzerine düşüyor

The moon is high
Plum blossom shadows
Fall on my pillow

--Original haiku by Soseki Natsume (1867-1916), translated by someone else from Japanese into English.
