This is an EL (Earth Language)
experimental page to enjoy
the image/meaning of a 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。
For this month, I found a cool photographs and
haiku page in " Ray Rasmussen’s
Web Site." Ray Rasmussen is
a photographer in Canada and web site designer. Getting his permission,
I use one of his haiku from his
fall-haiku page.
This scene calls my own unstable little heart in this turbulent era with
a sharpened feeling of fall.
今月は､素敵な写真がいっぱいの " Ray Rasmussen’s
Web Site" の
秋の俳句と写真のページ から、 カナダの写真家、Ray Rasmussenさんの俳句を採用させてもらいます。激動する時代の中で翻弄される不安定な心が、秋と重なってさし迫ってくるようです。
