独活立ちて
鳴き交う鳥を
眺めいつ
The udo is standing and seeing
There are some singing birds
In the sky
春の季語、何かナイかしら～と探してて見つけた「独活」。「ヒトリイキル？」とかって勘ぐったら、なんと「ウド」のことでした。何故この漢字を当てがったのでせう。芯の太い若芽がニョキっと地面から出てきて、葉を広げる前は一本立ちしているよーに見えるから？ 色々な「言葉」があって色々な理由があって色々な意味があって。興味深いですなー。
I was wondering if there are some "spring words" for Haiku. I found 独活. I thought 独活 means live alone. But it is a name of plant, Udo. The person who named it as 独活, he/she must have had a nice sense of naming. When Udo's bud comes out of soil, it seems like a straight stick, standing alone.
I'm really interested in words which are various, have many reasons and meanings.
