Sleep - ODB

Hedd, fy annywl, hedd
Siarad i fi yfory
Beth ti'n gweledig


Peace, my dearest, peace
Speak to me tomorrow
Of what you have seen


I do not speak Welsh at all well (so there are probably terrible and laughable errors in the above) but it is a language shaped for poetry. I have never seen a haiku written inWelsh, this is my first ever.

Lovely blessing.

Welsh always seems to me a lovely but difficult language! Well done for writing your first Welsh haiku!

Beautiful. Just that. I love the way the Welsh looks on the page. This Haiku is a gem.
