Write a variation on Basho's haiku # 19 "autumn frost will melt..."

19
If taken in hand, autumn frost will melt -- the tears are hot.
(1684)

Matsuo Basho (1644-1694)

__________

First of all a French translation from the above English version:

Dans la main
la gelée de l'automne fondra --
Chaudes larmes

secondly an irreverent variation looking at it from a different angle:

In fall and the pan
virgin oil does melt --
onions tears

and a more respectful one in French:

Dans sa main chaude
la pellicule blanche fond --
Film fixé en tete.

Amities
Rolland
