Little song forSaitō Sanki haiku:

"An autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea."

I translate the title to my language, catalan. "Drawn back by the sea" is "Arrossegat per la mar" on my island. In Catalonia, they say: "Arrossegat pel mar". The Balearic form is more poetic for me.

Arrossegat per la mar (naviarhaiku617)

This turned out a bit more Hallowe'en than I was expecting, but given the date, maybe that's OK 😁💀🎃

an autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea.

Saitō Sanki (1900 – 1962) was a dentist who discovered his passion for haiku poetry in his mid-thirties, when his colleagues at the hospital in Soto Kanda convinced him to write a haiku for a collection. Later, he became one of the most important exponents of wartime haiku: he was imprisoned in 1940 during the government’s World War II persecution of controversial artists, and was officially forbidden to write until the end of the war.

By the sea (naviarhaiku617)

You can put Christ in a manger on a cold winters night

You can see him gathering strangers, fishermen and the like

You can laugh with him laughing circles around the Pharisee

You can see him walk the shoreline of the Galilee;


You can see Christ as a carpenter, placing spokes within a wheel

With a clear mind of perception learning all that this would yield

You can hear him talk at the temple on a saturday afternoon

Putting the wheels into motion that’ll be coming around soon

Chorus:
You can put Christ in the alleys with the beggars and the thieves

 You can place him in a pulpit or the preachers's gallery,

You can frame him in a masterpiece with a halo for a crown

You can picture him in Calvary with his head hanging down,

You can put Christ in you heart 
when you’re ready for something new
putting the wheels into motion that’ll be coming round soon

Repeat 
Putting the wheels into motion that’ll be coming round soon (bis)
