Dignity lay shrouded beneath layers of cat fluff. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia #haikufeels #OneLineOctober

Alla linea d’arrivo sono accovacciato — lei corre dritta verso di me e si lancia con uno slancio; mi sollevo appena per accoglierla, pronto a quel gioioso impatto. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

At the goal line, I crouch — she dashes straight toward me and launches with a burst; I slightly rise to meet her, bracing for that joyful crash. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

親めがけ駆けて跳び込む衝撃が もう、すぐそこで腰を浮かせる #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

Dusk, ephemeral, captured in hex and hue. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia #haikufeels #OneLineOctober

I momenti splendenti che avevo voluto afferrare erano già in corso di sovrascrittura, ancora e ancora, dal flusso inevitabile della vita quotidiana. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

The shining moments I had wanted to grasp were already being overwritten, again and again, by the inevitable flow of daily life. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

日常に上書きされる この今が きっと大事にしたかったこと #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

Smetto di puntare il remo, e mi lascio portare dal flusso dei sentimenti. Cerco di dare forma a questo verso secondo le regole di un giardino da tè: sei parti di facilità da seguire, quattro parti di grazia a cui mi attengo. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

Casting aside the oar, I cease poling in the current of feeling, letting it carry me where it will. I shape this verse by the rules of a tea garden: six parts ease to follow, four parts grace I trust. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

棹を捨て気ままに流れる この情を 渡り六分に景四分で詠む #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

Open the cellarway— exposed concrete there. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia #haikufeels #OneLineOctober

Nel flusso mattutino della città, persone già avvolte di nero. Io, in sola camicia bianca, giocherello con le maniche, sentendo il primo brivido del vento. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

In the morning flow of the city, people already bundled up in black. I, in just my white shirt, fidget at my sleeves, feeling the early chill of the wind. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

世界史の問を出し合う学生が 赤い下敷きズラすのを待つ #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

Students ask each other world-history questions, red sheet shifted slightly — I lean in a bit, trying to recall what I should have known. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

Gli studenti si fanno domande di storia mondiale, il foglio rosso appena spostato — mi inclino un po’, cercando di ricordare quello che avrei dovuto sapere. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

Prowling the shortest path, straying all the while. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia #haikufeels #OneLineOctober

I sistemi legacy non obbediscono, danno il via a una grande revisione. Alla soglia, i pacchetti fluttuano leggeri, eppure i ritorni ritornano, scagliando tutto attraverso codici di arresto. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

Legacy systems won’t obey, they kick off a major overhaul. At the threshold, packets drift light, yet the returns return, kicking out through abort codes. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

言うことを基幹システム刷新は 閾はよいよい返りはこわい #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

Another day— a dry rustle as my thumb traces the page. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia #haikufeels #OneLineOctober

La loro partita non lascia traccia, nessuna notazione conservata, mosse fugaci di piccole mani; mi guardano, per chiedere chi sia in vantaggio. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

Their chess leaves no trace, no notation preserved, fleeting moves of small hands; they look to me, to ask who is ahead. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

Forced to roam the fractal spectacle— inward-looping mind. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia #haikufeels #OneLineOctober

Tocco un piccolo batuffolo di pelucchi sul bordo del tuo vestito da appuntamento; in quell’istante silenzioso, la vita quotidiana diventa cara. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

I touch a tiny pilling at the hem of your date-day dress; in that quiet instant, everyday life grows dear. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

Vedendomi prendere una fetta di zenzero rosso, i miei figli si accigliano, inquieti, temendo che possa essere Podostroma cornu-damae. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia 📌 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichod...

Seeing me pick up a slice of red ginger— my children frown, uneasy; worried it might be the Fire Coral Fungus. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia 📌 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichod...

Eerie prompt— knocking on the day’s door. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia #haikufeels #OneLineOctober

Piecing together the broken remains— I spread, too thick, that sticky feeling we call affection. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

Ricompongo i resti spezzati— stendo, troppo spessa, quella sensazione appiccicosa che chiamiamo affetto. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia

くっつける 壊れた破片かき集め ネバつく情を厚めに塗って #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia --- 妻が昔から大切にしていたメリーゴーランドのオルゴールを子どもがうっかり落として壊してしまったとして… ショックを受けた妻は、同じものをネットで必死に探し、運よく見つけて買い直した。一方、壊れたほうも私が接着剤でがんばって直した。 この二つのオルゴール、どちらが本物なのだろうか。

Photo frame shrine— the dog I once loved rests his paw on me. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia #haikufeels #OneLineOctober

Silenzio desolato, passivo-aggressivo, incompetenza armata prospera. #短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia
