Selected Haiku: Grassy Fields Haiku

grassy fields...
nothing stands between me
and the sun

Portuguese Translation by Henrique Pimenta

verdinho o campo
nadinha entre mim
e o sol

Serbian Translation by Saša Važić

travnata polja...
ničega između mene
i sunca

Editors' Comments:

Both an'ya and I [Jasminka Nadaškić-Đorđević] agreed on this haiku by Chen-ou Liu for our Third Favorite. Here is one simple picture, everybody can imagine, or remember, or feel it. This is one great moment when man, as the only one in the world, can feel only nature around him and inside. — Jaca & an'ya.

I an'ya i ja smo se složile da ovom haiku Čen-ou Lia dodelimo treće mesto. Evo jednostavne slike, koju svako može da zamisli ili oseti. To je odlično opisan trenutak u kome čovek, kao jedani na svetu, može da oseti samo prirodu oko sebe i u sebi. — Jaca i an'ya.
