Nonaku
emerging
over horizon
swallow
perfect tailor
with sharp tail
cuts out soft clouds
making ready for
return of
spring
- from 'Impromptus', a set of 10 nonaku (Op.703-712)
NOTES:
The above 'swallow' example starts with the attachment part, followed by the main part. A nonaku can start with the main part, followed by the attachment as well.
Cherita
i
am
a
shadow
chasing
storms
- the cherita, edition # 4:5 for the month of October 2020 ("an old sadness")
Haiku
kingfisher
a perfect rainbow
my fish gone
- Cold Moon Journal, 2021-02-08
counting the days
kept apart
plum blossoms
- Asahi Haikuist Network 2021-02-19
NOTES:
Sherry writes modern haiku these days, not strictly following 5-7-5 rules anymore, haiku is usually about nature and uses seasonal 'kigo'
Senryu
solar flare
mother's angry tone
any time now
- Akita Haiku 2021-05-29
doorbell
parcels carefully
wiped down
- Haiku Dialogue 2021-04-28
NOTES:
Senryu is about human and quite often humorous, it is in three lines, just like haiku
Ryuka
solar flare
Rengay
Light Breeze
By Nikolay Grankin (Russia) and Sherry Grant (NZ) (Op.1968)
light breeze
a little girl holds an ice cream
with cherry petals
-NG
sparks in her eyes
the ocean licks up
-SG
shooting star
where is it
the edge of the ocean?
-NG
even the moon
sadness
has lost its voice
-SG
full moon
the shiny cat fur
-NG
witching hour
a clap of thunder
ends it all
-SG
(translation into Russian by Nikolay Grankin)
Лёгкий бриз
лёгкий бриз
у девочки в руках мороженое
с вишнёвыми лепестками
-NG
слизнул океан
искорки в её глазах
-SG
падающая звезда
и где он
край океана?
-NG
в печали
даже луна
потеряла дар речи
-SG
полнолуние
сияющий мех кошки
-NG
ведьмин час
всё заканчивается
с раскатом грома
-SG
- Sherry's first rengay written with Nikolay Grankin (Russia) on 2021-04-25
