Shamrock Haiku

I've two new haiku published in the latest edition of the excellent Shamrock Haiku (16).

frogspawn
in a sun-dried pond –
speckled mud


cloud streaks
scarring the sky –
hounded wind howls

Russian translation

A google alert pointed me to this website which has published a Russian translation of my Haiku which appeared in Shamrock Haiku Journal earlier this month.
I ran the Russian version through the online Bablefish and pasted its translation below.
The Russian website is at www.wowwi.orc.ru


rain on the window
an unfurling snail plucked
from its thrush-cracked shell


дождь за окном
от разбитой дроздом ракушки
освобождается улитка


rain after the window
the snail is freed
from the cockleshell broken by thrush
