HAIKU FOR PEACE

Japanese American Cultural & Community

https://www.facebook.com/events/1572559833008065/

HELP US SPREAD THE MESSAGE OF PEACE!

For the 3rd Annual Remembering Sadako and the 70th Anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the JACCC invites you to write a haiku about peace and post it on our wall.

At the conclusion of Remembering Sadako in mid-September, copies of the haiku will be sent to Hiroshima and Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina.

Come down to JACCC to write your haiku and place it on our wall or post on our Facebook event wall below and we'll transcribe and place your haiku on the wall in the JACCC. We hope to gather haiku from people of different backgrounds and languages. Help us spread the message of peace!

To ensure that your haiku gets recorded and placed on our wall in the JACCC, be sure to write your haiku using the "write post" button directly below this event page description.

morning coffee -
the girl is wearing
a bomb vest

 

Schmetterlinge -

durch die Gärten am Flussufer

taumelt der Tag

Sommergras -

beiläufig streife ich

reife Samen ab

noch ein Blick aufs Meer

ich lasse den Sommerregen

zurück - und mich


*****


yet a glance at the sea
leaving the summer rain
and me

Strandpromenade

fliegende Händler flirten

mit ihren Smartphones

*****

beach promenade
some hawkers coquetting
with their smartphones

market bustle

between poppies and lettuce

a counting rhyme

*****

Markttreiben
zwischen Klatschmohn und Kopfsalat
ein Abzählreim

Fingerhutblüten
die filigranen Muster
des Inneren

summer grasses no need to talk about

Stockrosen
wie sie da stehen
gestützt vom Licht
