Autumn memories
Blowing my emotions about
As if they were dead leaves.
This is my attempted haikuonification of a poem by Paul Verlaine. I've admired and remembered the original for many years. Here it is
- Les sanglots longs
- Des violons
- De l'automne
- Blessent mon cœur
- D'une langueur
- Monotone.
- Tout suffocant
- Et blême, quand
- Sonne l'heure,
- Je me souviens
- Des jours anciens
- Et je pleure;
- Et je m'en vais
- Au vent mauvais
- Qui m'emporte
- Deçà, delà,
- Pareil à la
- Feuille morte.
