''On the Morning'' by Natsuki Shimizu

''On the Morning'' by Natsuki Shimizu (Link)


Author’s Note:
I made this haiku according to my real life in the morning. It is getting cold outside these days and it is really hard for me to get up in the morning because I have a poor circulation. I found that we need to create haiku with candid and straightforward words to express what we want specifically with a limited number of words.

Thank you:)

Author’s Note:





This is a poem which expresses my family. Before writing this poem, I discussed what we were with my family. We are really united, often go for a trip and chat together all the time!! I cannot believe my life without my father, mother and sister. I wrote words one by one as I feel intuitively.Thank you:)

"Dear Grandma" by Natsuki

Dear Grandma

Author's Note:

I really love my grandmother and often send a letter to her. This time, I sent a letter with a souvenir from Taiwan. I hope she gets better both mentally and physically by reading this letter and drinking oolong tea I gave. I found it really difficult for me to express what I feel or think in English by letter. Therefore, I wrote it in Japanese first and then translated into English. Through this writing, I came to think that I want to try to show my real feelings clearly in English more even if it is quite hard for me. Thank you ;)
