song of the katydid

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

just when the calf

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

 

 

In the silence forest (Richard Wright)

In the silent forest

A woodpecker hammers at

The sound of silence.

#Haiku by Richard Wright (Haiku: This Other World), cartoon by Old Pond Comics.

 

crunch! crunch!

crunch! crunch!

a mountain rice field

mixed with snow
