Carpe Diem # 1515 - French Haiku

Dedicated to :

My grandmother - Adele Alexandrine Ludivine

 My mother -   Marguerite Eugenie Florimond





souvenir d'enfance
cerisier rose et pommier blanc
chez ma grandmere

childhood memory
cherry pink and apple blossom white
at my grandmother's house

ma  chere grandmere
amoureuse de tino rossi
danser dans la cuisine

my dear grandmother
in love with tino rossi
dancing in the kitchen




beaucoup de questions
pourquoi comment porquoi pas
une petite fille curieuse

a lot of questions
why how why not
a curious little girl



pluie printanière 
son parapluie à mon bras
pleurs silencieux 

spring rain
his umbrella on my arm
silent tears

(Recommended ...good movie)


le premier baiser
le fruit defendu du printemps
fiance de sa soeur

first kiss
spring's forbidden fruit
her sister's fiance


Dans mon jardin
la plante d'une amie chere
qui s'accroche a la vie

In my garden
a dear friend's plant
who clings to life

une fleur jolie
marguerite ma mere patiente
seule fiere et forte 

a pretty flower
marguerite my  patient mother
alone proud and strong
 


elle adorait couture
sa  fille a marche toujours
dans son ombre 

she loved fashion
her daughter always walked
in her shadow

  5. What a great tribute to your mother and grandmother! I am especially touched by the umbrella on the arm, the umbrella that used to belong to a now absent loved one.

  10. This took me back so many years to the post war in Britain. How popular Cherry Blossom Pink was on the radio. This was so moving for me I was almost in tears.
