涅槃西風闘魚鏡に負けにけり ドゥーグルＪ．リンズィー
nehan-nishi tôgyo kagami ni makenikeri
west wind from nirvana
a fighting fish lost
to the mirror

Fay’s Note: Dhugal J. Lindsay, an Australian, writes haiku in Japanese.
‘nehan-nishi’ (west wind from nirvana), spring kigo, is ａwind around a day of an annual memorial service for Buddha, February 15 on the lunar calendar.
