Over the Wintry

by Natsume Soseki

Over the wintry

Forest, winds in howl in rage

With no leaves to blow

An Old Silent Pond

by Matsuo Basho

An old silent pond

A frog jumps into the pond

Splash. Silence again.

Matsuo Basho - The first known poet to write a haiku.

Slowly, so slowly

Drawn from his horizon quilt

To rid of the night

 

The clouds have moved past

Nothing left but colorful

layers of a smile.

Extends his bright rays

Like golden arms, just waving.

A morning greeting.

Dark cloud windowshades

Threaten to release their cold

Pitter-patter drops.

Hours pass, the sun waits

Waiting, waiting. But for what?

He stiffles a yawn.

Thus diamond drops fall

And draw the dark cloud curtain

to awake the sun.

The sun waves “goodbye”

He slowly sinks into his

Soft horizon bed.

Soon comes his naptime

Someone so busy as he

Deserves a quiet break.

What a life it is!

Lounging upon cloud cushions

In the sofa sky.
