Willow catkins
I let them fall behind
the side window

Weidenkätzchen
fallen zurück
im Seitenfenster

Thanks a lot everybody. Friends have shown different and probably better ways of translating the verse into German. Might be that I change it in the next days. The English origin will keep its composition.

Best wishes

Beware - where you tread
fluffy creatures everywhere
- just willow catkins -

Not a real Haiku - but just what came to my mind when I walked through the woods...

Tikkis hat gesagt…

Hmn... a new version, German seems to be a long one. Leave lasse Ich away?

Ralf Bröker hat gesagt…

Thanks a lot, Gabriele and Tikkus for stopping by.

@ Tikkis: Tried to keep the layers in the German translation; that only works with a double-used third line.

@ Gabriele: And how sad it looks like when they were cut down ...

As promised here is another German version, made in the Haiku-wortART-Forum:

Weidenkätzchen
fallen zurück
im Seitenfenster
