haiku

The old pond-
A frog jumps in,
sound of water.

Basho I don't know
which tree it comes from,
that fragrance.

Basho

It would melt
in my hand-
the autumn frost.

Basho Felling a tree
and seeing the cut end-
tonight's moon.

Basho

Will the two-day moon
Be blown from the sky
By the winter wind?

Basho Kept by the winter wind
From falling to earth-
The drizzling rain.

Basho

The snow is melting
and the village is flooded
with children.

Kobayashi Issa Don't worry, spiders,
I keep house
casually.

Kobayashi Issa

Goes out,
comes back-
the loves of a cat.

Issa

Coolness-
the sound of the bell
as it leaves the bell.

Yosa Buson The spring sea rising
and falling, rising
and falling all day.

Buson

Like popcorn bursting,
mountain laurel explode white
Father's Day flowers.

bjdrew A giant firefly:
that way, this way, that way, this -
and it passes by.

Issa

Beach kids skipping stones
That fllick out from shore, knee deep.
The waves toss them back.

bjdrew Waves roll stones on shore.
Hissing fluid motion
under children's feet.

bjdrew

Irresistably
skipping stones, the beach kids laugh
while waves kiss their feet.
