#Haiku Happenings #5: Fay Aoyagi’s Today’s Haiku features Teiko Inahata!
一日の眠き時間よ亀の鳴く 稲畑汀子
ichinichi no nemuki jikan yo kame no naku
time of a day
when one becomes sleepy…
a tortoise calls
Teiko Inahata
from “Haiku Dai-Saijiki” (“Comprehensive Haiku Saijiki”), Kadokawa Shoten, Tokyo, 2006
Fay’s Note: Though a tortoise doesn’t sing like a bird, ‘kame naku’ (a tortoise calls) is a spring kigo.
