Sai la foglia
che sussurra la via
di cadere sù?

This is my first haiku in Italian.
Translation:
Do you know the leaf
that whispers the way
of falling up?

Beautiful!
Thank you so very much! 🙂
Lovely image, and especially so, your poem.
Many thanks for you comment and compliment! 🙂
Already you are answering! Brava! I’m just writing in English and slapping it into Google Translate and trusting my artist friend in Liguria can make heads or tales of it. I am in Santa Cruz California, and its supposed to be bedtime, ha ha 1:20 am, but I’m going to now send your nice poem in its original Italian to my friend in Sarzana and tell her I have my answer that you’ve learned Italian, it’s not your birth language. I think you should post more of your haiku in Italian. Are you in Italy now? — Linda
Thank you so very much, Linda! I am happy that you will send her my poem. Currently, I am in Japan. 🙂
Diedre, that’s a really beautiful poem! How did you come know Italian? Birth language? I am trying to write haiku in English and to communicate them to an Italian friend, so we do a bit of translating. Did you write more haiku in Italian?— LBH
Thank you for your kind message. I studied Italian while attending university. It’s wonderful that you are translating your haiku into Italian! How is it going? As for writing haiku in Italian, yes, I have and still do–just haven’t been the best about posting. 😊
