西洋俳句集より

Some westerns Haikus from "Selected Poems of Jack Kerouac" published by 思潮社

This July evening,
a large frog
On my door sill.

七月のこの夕べ
ドアの敷居の上に

大きなカエル

In my medicine cabinet,
the winter fly
has died of old age.

薬籍の中
老哀で死んでいた
冬のハエ

the taste
of rain
- Why kneel?

雨の
味
なぜひざますく？

Missing a kick
at the icebox door
It closed anyway.

冷蔵庫のドア
蹴とばぞうとしてミスったけど
勝手にしまった

Again... I wonder if there are some orientalistic point of view in this so-called Western Haikus. Japanese Literature has Senryu, and in more modern "bubble-times" the Salary-man Senryuu.
