made a stupid Japanese grammar error. -- HK]

Rating: NR

This haiku appears on a drawing I did called Bishounen no K/S. It depicts Kirk 
and Spock as anime "bishounen" (beautiful young men), and is in animesque style. 

The original Japanese is in kanji and hiragana, but obviously I can only do 
roomaji in ASCII.

Japanese (Nihongo) Version:

Matsu shita de
Anata ni atta
Tsuki o mi ni


English Version:

Beneath the pine tree
I met you, my dear lover
To look at the moon


German (Deutsch) Version:

Unten der Kiefer
Traf ich dich, mein Liebling, um
Den Mond anzusehen

Yeah. I showed it to a couple of friends and they laughed (they're all 
anime fans). Anyway, here's what it says transcribed in roumaji (roman 
letters):

(on the right)

bishounen-no KEE-ESHI

=K/S as beautiful boys

(on the left)

matsumoto-ni <--this is bad Japanese & will be fixed later
anata-ni atta
tsuki-o mi-ni

=Beneath the pine tree
I met you, my dear lover
To look at the moon

It's my first attempt at haiku in Japanese. I kind of crossed genres 
because haiku are really supposed to be nature poems, and I stuck 
"anata" in there. Oh well. I'm proud of the kanji spelling, though. I 
looked up some obscure kanji for "anata" and found one which is 
specifically male. Hee hee.

-Hypatia

Kirk-wa Spock-ga suki desu-nee!

Original German Commentary (4/8/02):

ps - totemo kowai desu ga, ich habe ein Bild gemacht, das heisst, "K/S 
als Bishounen". Es findet statt hier:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KirkLovesSpockFic/files/ks-bish.jpg

Es ist nicht sehr gut und besonderes komisch. Tatsaechlich habe ich in 
meiner Mathematikklasse gelangweilt, und das Sketch gemacht. Es kommt 
mit Gedicht, das man im Scan nicht recht lesen kann, und deswegen 
auschreibe ich's hier.

Matsu-no ki-ni
Anata-ni atta
Tsuki-wo mi-ni

Das Gedicht ist ein Haiku, natuerlich. Uebersetzung folgt:

An der Kiefer
Traf ich dich,
Um den Mond zu ansehen.
