senryu: крутые переводы

а вот как china_cat перевела с английского мое сенрю:

conversation
with an old friend
eye contact missing

Базар
пацанов конкретных
буркалы отдыхают

haiku

dead skunk on the road
its smell lingers
in my car

senryu

"E Pluribus Unum"
right
on the money

Wow! I wonder if the guys who did the study actually thought about its implications.

(no subject)

shifting sands --
wind moves the earth
one grain at a time

senryu: autumn kiss - take 4

kissing
on the first date
the moon is half-full


поцелуй
на первом свиданьи
луна наполовину полна

reading: Sync, by Steven Strogatz

haiku (maybe)

evening
the spider by the light
catches all the moths
