A Happy New Year to You!
In 2004, natural and man-made disasters raged in many places on
earth.
The people, who suffered them, you must still be hard in chill.
On the other side of the earth, the sun is shining now like
this haiku by Loli Karas(8) in Melbourne;
and the sun will return to brighten your day like this again. Please
warm up yourself by this image.
This haiku is taken from
CHILDREN'S HAIKU GARDEN.
あけましておめでとうございます。
雪の中の地震被災地の子どもたちやお年寄りに、同じ時期の地球の反対側を想像しながら
こんな俳句であたたまってもらいたいとおもいました。一日も早く、彼らにも輝きがもどりますように・・
メルボルンの Loli
Karasさん(8歳)の作で、

英語文化では、太陽はふつう黄色にイメージされて、この俳句でも黄色です。
みなさんには今日の太陽が何色に見えますか?
