End and Beginning

at life’s night time kiss:
soul enters oblivion,
mates with universe

Dear Jack, thank you for your note and well wishing! Here are the texts of the German and Spanish translation of your part: Zarte Liebesblüten fallen Nur nackte dornige Zweige bleiben Kein berauschender Duft mehr Doch mit Pflege und Liebe Wird aus einer Rose ein Bouquet Pétalos de amor caen Dejando lampiñas ramas espinosas No más embriaga perfume Pero con cuidado y atención Crece de una rosa un ramillete Please note: The translations have different syllable to the Tanka-norm

Wow, this is extraordinary, Jack!! If it is for the contest, it's definitely a winner. So deep! I love the concept the soul mating with the universe. This is how I feel when I stare at the night sky or even when looking at the ocean. Brilliant poem! Love, Carolyn

Great Haiku, Jack! I am glad that you like my words and if you'll send me yours, I'll do the translation into German and Spanish. Sorry to hear that you need a hair transplant and liposuction. I have problems with reflux but a surgical operation won't improve it so I relay on medication. Today ma arm was very painful again. Hope it will be better soon!...Wish you a great time!...Love, Gert:)
