Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Sunday Time Challenge No. 4: War


summer grasses
all that remains
of warriors’ dreams
© Matsuo Basho (1644-1694) (Tr. Chèvrefeuille)
 

ancient warriors ghosts
mists over the foreign highlands -
waiting for the full moon
© Chèvrefeuille


After war
Shambles and ruins
Moss and grass

Let us look up
To the twinkling stars
As long as we can

Warrior's glory vanishing
Like cherry blossoms
In the mud
