A Selection of Haiku

A Selection of Haiku

A Poem by Scott De Buitléir
"

A collection of various haiku I've written over the years. No connection between them - just wanted to have them all in one spot!

"
Meánoíche chiúin fhliuch.
Suaimhneas grámhar cneasta,
Dá mbeifeá liom anocht. 

A cold, wet midnight; 
A kind, loving peace, should you 
Lay with me tonight. 

-----

Tús an Gheimhridh; 
Gaoth fhionnuar láidir
Ag dúisiú na tíre. 

The start of Winter; 
A strong, cool wind awakens 
All within the land. 

-----

Peace / Síocháin

November morning;
Both my soul and the weather
Calm, after the storm

Maidin na Samhna;
Tá m'anam 's an aimsir
Suan, th'réis na stoirme.

-----

Christmas Haiku

Christmastime awakens;
Moonlight on a garden path
Keeps me safe tonight. 

----- 

Haiciú Grá / A Love Haiku 

Tús mhí na Samhna;
An grá faoi bhláth arís, le
Póigín ar mo bhéal. 

November's Start;
Love blossoms anew, with a
Kiss upon my lips.

-----

I lár na hoíche,
Titim i mo chodladh;
Táim slán, faoi dheireadh.

Middle of the night -
I fall into a slumber;
I am safe, at last.

Author's Note

Scott De Buitléir
"Christmas Haiku" was written in English only, the lack of an Irish translation is arbitary.
