Haiku About Pearls and Pearl Divers
in old-archaic- and poetical language
written by: Paweł Markiewicz
I
weird of afterglow
pearler singing song of moon
breaks sea-solitude
II
matutinal sun
keel swimming to new island
laden with the pearls
III
under summer moon
a pearl in dreamy gull’s beak
marine wizardry
IV
when the tide is out
pearl diver is fetching pearls
from sunken vessel
V
the morning red sky
the pearl diver on board ship
singing ferrymen’s ayres
ayre = Br. archaic = lay
VI
seaweed under sea
with the most propitious pearls
hidden by seaman
