The piano

The piano in corner –


the pianist listens


to the rain song


 


 


(romanian)


Pianul la colţ –
pianistul ascultă
cântecul ploii

I don't know if in English this sounds as well as in Romanian: the piano is punished. Preposition "la" says so, not simple "there its position is". (Nu ştiu dacă în engleză sună aşa bine ca în româneşte: pianul este pedepsit.)

Can be abandoned, not punished...The pianist listens an other song.

A memorable senryu Maria ~ But many would treat this as a haiku!

Maria, I like that hue, that shade of "la" from Romanian version where you didn't say "in" (position, abandoned only, not punished). It brings more information and has much more spirit. And a little humor imperative for senryu.
