plum blossoms, moon
and the rump
of a cow
#haiku by Kobayashi Issa, translated by David G. Lanoue, Old Pond Comic by Jessica Tremblay
squatting on the head
of a sleeping cow…
a frog
#haiku by Kobayashi Issa, translated by David G. Lanoue, Old Pond Comic by Jessica Tremblay
sweat drops from cows
from horses…
blades of grass
#haiku by Kobayashi Issa, translated by David G. Lanoue, Old Pond Comic by Jessica Tremblay
song of the katydid–
even the field cow
a connoisseur
#haiku by Kobayashi Issa, translated by David G. Lanoue, Old Pond Comic by Jessica Tremblay
a calf’s face
stretches forward…
camellias
#haiku by Kobayashi Issa, translated by David G. Lanoue, Old Pond Comic by Jessica Tremblay
on the sleeping cow’s
belly…
a pheasant cries
#haiku by Kobayashi Issa, translated by David G. Lanoue, Old Pond Comic by Jessica Tremblay
just when the calf
has fallen asleep…
the reed thrush sings
#haiku by Kobayashi Issa, translated by David G. Lanoue, Old Pond Comic by Jessica Tremblay
