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.
