Haiku in French by Richard Vallance, Canada
Translation: author
Field of dandelions
a riot of their
yellow laughter...
Champ de pissenlits
telle une émeute
de ceux qui rient.
* * *
Dandelion
crushed by an oaf
bleeds saffron tears.
Pissenlit
écrasé d'un gauche pleure
le sang de safran.
* * *
Plovers tickle
the ocean's
slipping tides.
Les pluviers
chatouillent les marées
glissées à la mer.
* * *
All awash
in the riptide squadrons of
samurai jellyfish...
À la dérive
à la marée en émeute
méduses samouraï...
