Haiku Poem




shape flashes
foot falls ring out
shoes vanish



Runners move forward one step at a time. If they are fast, you barely see them as they move past. Maybe, all you see is the color of their yellow shirt. Then, all you see is the back of their shoes as they disappear before you.






目にさやか靴音高く駆け抜ける


め に さやか くつおと たかく かけぬける



走者は、一度に一歩、前進します。走者が速ければ、その人が追い越す時、少ししか姿を見ることが出来ません。たぶん、見えるものは、黄色いシャツの色だけです。そして、次に見えるものは、前の方に消えていく靴の後ろだけです。



– Ben Clark
– Japanese by Nakamura Michiko
