To commemorate 20 years of Amélie, I present to you a haiku inspired by the movie. I was going to write it in French, but the silent letters make maintaining the 5-7-5 syllable format difficult for me.
I left “romance” as アイ instead of 愛 so it could also be interpreted as “I.”
After this piece is published, I am taking a week off from writing blog posts to focus on final projects.
Love like a wilting flower
萎む花
不思議な国に
アイ探す
＊＊＊
Shibomu hana
Fushigi na kuni ni
Ai sagasu
＊＊＊
A wilting flower
continues to search for love
in her wonderland
＊＊＊
Dearest Reverie
