A Sunday Tanka

Bright colored blossoms --
Summer's fragile, fragrant vow --
So soon forgotten --
While in the greenwood's solemn
         Depths, the grave, grey stones endure.



 Vives floraisons
Evanescent voeu d'été (ou) Serment d'été parfumé
Si vite oublié
Dans les vertes profondeurs
Perdurent les tombes grises

This French version is courtesy of Miss Yves -- she and I have this little game of translating one another's poetry --
