“We all try our best / in our busy, busy lives / to write poetry.”
Haiku from Romanian Poets for AIU Festival 2011 (6)
2011/12/24
On October 9 and 10, 2011, AIU Festival was held at Akita International University（国際教養大学）in Akita prefecture（秋田県）, Northern Honshu, Japan.
The festival, whose theme is HOOP ～世界とハチあわせ！～, had 3Philosophies : Academic（学問）, Culture（文化）, and Entertainment（楽しさ）.
...
Some Romanian haiku poets also donated their haiga or haiku to the AIU festival in order to show their condolences, prayers, or hopes through the exhibition to the Japanese people.
Mrs. Maria Tirenescu inRomania kindly sent her haiku through Ms. Patricia Lidia’s e-mail on August 30.
She also kindly sent me two Christmas pictures this morning.
Here are her photos.
Let me post the latter part of her haiku.

and the cat catches
the cricket

in pitiless rain –
