Goooood morning! ^_^ : Haiku

This morning I would like to share with you this Haiku by Kobayashi Nobuyuki, knows under the name Issa. 


雪とけて
村一ぱいの
子ども哉

yuki tokete 

mura ippai no 
kodomo kana
Translated in English sounds like: 

snow melting
the village brimming over...
with children!

(translation by David Lanoue , http://haikuguy.com)


I found it very inspiring today. Can you imagine it? 
A small village, all white, covered by snow that slowly blankets everything.  You are alone, watching outside from your window. You have just woken up, still in your pyjamas, still rubbing your eyes with your left hand. Feeling sad, maybe you won't be able to go outside, start your day as scheduled. 
But suddenly - last row- a splash of colour, then two, three, four, painting the white quilt. 
Sound of laugh. Cries of joy.
Children playing all around.

Have a lovely day! ^_^
