混沌は宇宙の秩序帰り花
(konton-wa uchuu-no-chitsujo kaeribana)
（薫風士）
“kaeribana” in bloom_
chaos:
That’s the system of the cosmos.
(Lovee)
(Note)
The word “kaeribana” means a flower that is unusually in bloom in winter, although it normally blooms in spring, such as dandelion and cherry blossoms.
There is another seasonal word "kuruizaki", which is equivalent to "kaeribana" but which has quite a different nuance, literally meaning "crazy flower".
This is a picture showing a part of NHK TV news, which I saw in the morning on January 29. 2025.
You might think that some of the occurences, such as abolishment of "DEI", are equivalent to "kaeribana" or "kuruizaki".
"DEI" stands for "Diversity", "Equity" and "Inclusion".

白蛇の呼ぶ参道や春浅し
(shirohebi-no yobu-sandō-ya haru-asashi)
（薫風士）
early spring_
white snakes invite us into a shop
on the street approaching to a temple.
(Lovee)
(Note)
The word "や" (ya) in the above haiku has three functions:
"exclamation", "question", and "pause".
A pause is an essential facter in the Japanese conventional haiku, in which brevity and rhythm are important.
You will notice a big difference in length between Japanese and English in the above haiku.
To enjoy haiku, it is advisable for you to learn the Japanese language.

貫かむ八十路の夢を去年今年
(tsuranukan yasojinoyumewo kozokotoshi)
kozokotoshi_
I’ll accomplish
my dreams of age of eighty
去年今年５・７・５を口遊み
(kozokotoshi goshichigowo kuchizusami)
enjoying
haiku of 5-7-5_
last-year-this-year
(Note)
“kozokotoshi” is a kigo (= season word made by Kyoshi Takahama) referring to New Year, since on the first day of January, yesterday is the last year, whereas today is this year.
Kyoshi's famous haiku in question "kozokotoshi tsuranukubohno gotokimono" is translated by L. P. Lovee as follows:
(Literal translation)
kozokotoshi_
something piercing
like a stick
(Translations reflecting Kyoshi's intention as assumed by L. P. Lovee)
(A)
my belief in HAIKU
pierces last-year-this-year through,
like a stick piercing something
(B)
time passes
piercing kozokotoshi
like a stick
It seems that Kyoshi intended to express two meanings by omitting the subject in the Japanese original haiku in question.
To really appreciate Kyoshi’s Haiku, it is essential for a reader to understand the original haiku in Japanese.
