THE LAST HAIKU IS THE FIRST SUEKU

Post by Sue Littleton » May 17th, 2011, 9:18 am

Gandara Nippon! ("Courage, Japan, give the best of yourself!")
To the people of Japan, who have taught the world a lesson in fortitude and self-discipline.


tulip candles glow
japanese magnolia flaunts
bare twigs wait for leaves

Velas tulipanes relucen;
la magnolia japonesa ostenta
y las ramitas desnudas esperan hojas verdes.
