Haiku 4: The chicken looking at something...

Here is today's haiku:

秋の風鷄の見るもの我に見えぬ

And in romaji:

aki no kaze tori no miru mono ware nimienu

And English: "Autumn wind; the chicken looking at something I can't see."

This is another haiku by Kato Shuson. I really like the idea of how we all see the world in our own way: the chicken sees its world, I see my world... and we also share the world, during all the seasons of the year. The bird, 鷄 or 鶏, tori, doesn't have to be a chicken, but I like imagining it as a chicken.



My vocabulary for today:


とり
"chicken; bird"
