Faic

 

faic! 

níl faic in aon chor

le rá agam . . .

Haiku

 

 

gnéas?

níl ann ach paindéim

ná buair do cheann faoi

 

sex?

it's just a pandemic

nothing to worry about

 

Haiku: Zen Monk Tanuki

 

Photo haiku

 

Ó eacstais go heacstais

lá eile

i saol ón mhistigh

 

from ecstasy to ecstasy

another day

in the life of a mystic

 

Haiku: Zen monk Tanuki

 

Tanuki

 

mura bhfuil fhios agat

nach bhfuil ann ach taibhreamh

ní heol duit faic - tada

if you don't know

it's a dream

you know nothing - zero!

Madra / Dog

 

An domhan

seo . . .

cúr sin uile.

This world . . .

froth,

nothing but froth

Zen monk Tanuki (1949 - )

Smaoineamh an lae

 

Nochtfaidh

colm bán

ach ní fheicfidh éinne é

Zen Master Tanuki

1949

Treibheanna / Tribes

 

Bí le gach treibh, bí gan treibh

Belong to all tribes and none

Zen monk Tanuki (1949 - )

Smaoineamh an Lae/ Thought for the Day

 

Snámh

in

aghaidh

an 

tsrutha

Go

against

the

tide.

Haiku

 

birds fly in and out

of St. Anne's Park ...

in and out of the mind

éanlaith

i bPáirc San Anna

isteach is amach san aigne

Smaoineamh an Lae

 

Tum san fhéin

ní ormsa an locht

mura

dtagann tú aníos arís

Dive into the 

self, don't blame

me if you don't

resurface

Haiku

 bris amach as do shliogán

is eitil

eitil leat!

break out of your shell

and fly

fly away!

Muinéal / Neck

 Sa saol seo

(N'fheadar faoin saol eile)

is gá muinéal a bheith agat

in this world

(whatever about the next)

you need to have

a bit of neck

Flúirse / Abundance

 

Life's abundance

where else

but in the mind

flúirse an domhain... cén áit eile ach san aigne

Tanuki

 

Faigh réidh leis an gcac

cinnte ... ach deimhnigh

nach dtuirlingeoidh sé ar éinne

get rid of your waste matter

by all means... but make sure

it doesn't land on someone
