wrong way

and right way























and after the fun, below the serious business of translating a haiku and then adding my own version.

inspiration came from : kantooka magatte shimatta magarikado © Fuyuko Tomita which could be translated as: tenth tree trunk turn right damn it street corner

should've gone by car turn left at the traffic light - damn it! © Girl Friday which could be translated as: kurama de shingō o hidari shimatta © Girl Friday

Ah, the vagaries of translation..... I particularly liked the phrase 'shimatta', which could be substituted for the good old Anglo-Saxon word 'shit'. We live and learn. Now for my grown-up take: sadly no trees once I turn the corner what a shame
