This is an EL (Earth Language)
experimental page to enjoy
the image of a haiku/short poem originally in English/Japanese.
When you can't see the Japanese parts, please
don't mind and just skip those parts.
地球語の文字や文字絵を用いて詩的表現や翻訳を試みる実験のページです。
Exploring the Internet, I happened to stop by a fun site,
“DOG HAIKU”
– A poetic tribute to the domesticated dog- in “Yuckles”
I enjoyed becoming a dog through
this page for a little while.
A human can become even a dog in the imagination; why not another
human?
Let’s imagine being someone on the other side, we might better
understand each other
in this difficult era.
The poet of this haiku is Steve D. Marsh in the Midwest of the U.S.
インターネットの散歩中、ここで
、 こんな犬に出会いました。
日本語訳すると、大阪弁の犬になってしまう、なんでやろ？
ヒトでも犬になってええ気持ち味わえるんやったら、
つかの間でも反対側で生きてる人にいっぺんなってみたらどうかいな。
お互いにもうちょっとわかりあえるんやないかなぁ？
この犬になった詩人はんは、アメリカ中西部のスティーヴ・マーシュさんです。
