Blue Willow Haiku World (by Fay Aoyagi)

落ちかけて日のとどまりし蕨かな　　藤田湘子

ochikakete hi no  todomarishi warabi kana

            the sun starts to sink

            and stops…

            a bracken

                                                Shoshi Fujita

from “Haiku Dai-Saijiki” (“Comprehensive Haiku Saijiki”), Kadokawa Shoten, Tokyo, 2006

Fay’s Note: Shoshi Fujita (1926-2005)   ‘warabi’ (bracken) is a spring kigo.
