Sounds of Cicadas

Recently, it had not been so fine, but it was very fine today!
The sky was blue and spread over, clouds was white and stood high.



And cicadas were singing in chorus.
I thought this is really summer day.



By the way, do you know "HAIKU"? It is a kind of poetry and born in Japan.
I remember a haiku of "Matsuo Basho" when the summer came.

"shizukesa ya
iwa ni shimiiru

semi no koe
"

-the original in Japanese by Matsuo Basho-


"the silence,
sounds of cicadas
held into the rocks"

-translated by AEZ-


「蝉の声」

最近は、あまり天気が良くない日が続いてたけど、今日はとてもいい天気だった。
空は青く、遠くまで広がって、雲は白く、高くそびえ立っていた。

そして、蝉の大合唱。
これが本当の夏の日だ。

ところで、俳句って知ってますか?詩の一種で、日本で生まれたものです。
僕は夏が来ると、松尾芭蕉のある俳句を思い出します。

“静けさや
岩にしみいる
蝉の声”
