I picked an English Haiku by William C. Burns, Jr.
from the website 'Original Haiku by the subscribers' in
Issue 11 - Summer 1995
of [ Dogwood
Blossoms ] ( the chief editor is Gary Warner )
: window / : light ( in the pictograph )
The original haiku:
distant thunder
stroboscopic lightning
shadow at the window
In Japanese: 遠雷 稲妻 窓を影に焼き
In EL:
{ (much), (out)}: far, distant (遠い)By the lightning, the colors of the frame and the curtain of the window turn into dark shadow, and the afterimage remains strongly. Feeling something is coming, and it's still far away, you think. But it instantly turns your view, showing the power beyond your thoughts...
{ (sky), (electricity), (a part of (sound))}: thunder (雷)
{ (denied),(time)}: a fleeting moment (瞬間)
{ ,, (light)}: lightning (稲妻)
{ (opposite), }: shadow (影)
: preposition (前置符)
{ (chamber {container, place}), (eye)}: window (部屋の眼の組み合わせで「窓」)
