the color of burnt bread's crust-
bread's crust such as Okinawa being cut off
depending on time
From "Mimi Futahira" written by Yuriko Matsumura
*****************************************
Obviously,crust of bread is a part of bread.What crust differs from the inside is just the color and the consistency.Because of such differences,therefore,crust is likely to be cut off for any purpose.
The author felt that crust of bread is similar to Okinawa which has been sacrificed for the main island of Japan.In my opinion,this tanka is expressed the instability of human mind,and makes us be aware that Okinawa belongs to us all,Japanese.
B side
of the summer holiday
from when done the travel
Original is written by Madoka Mayuzumi
***************************************************
B side is the reverse of the disc,usually recorded the second song.In this Haiku,B side means the reverse side of the summer holiday.
The author felt as she was in B side after her travel.I suppose that she experienced something special in her travel,and sensed that the rest of her holiday was trifles,or her life had been completely changed.
Late summer tends to make people sentimental.It can be a prologue of a scenario in the autumn.

various cords around
while taking off
kimono for blossoms viewing
original is written by Hisajo Sugita
*************************************************************
Blossoms viewing is a typical event of spring for Japanese.Nowadays, rarely is kimono worn in daily life,and it makes women escape from reality.The woman who wrote this haiku had just come back from blossoms viewing as well as taken off her kimono.As kimono requires several cords,after undressing,people can see them around.In addition, cords are generally colourful.While looking at cords,she who was in a dream had just synchronized such cords and her real life,so that,she regarded those cords as circumstances of her.
It is expressed both floweriness and fatigue of her life with 'various cords'.
