counting stars

 numărând stele--

de pe-un fir de lavandă

un greier mă-ngână

counting stars --

from a piece of lavender

a cricket disturbs me

compter les étoiles --

sur une pièces de lavande

un grillon me perturbe

hoshi o kazoeru

rabendā kara

kōrogi midasu

星を数える

ラベンダーから

蟋蟀みだす

 So thrilled my haiku has been published in the prestigious 

The Mainichi, Japan, 19 August 2025. 

Many thanks to Editor Dhugal J. Lindsay
