hate it…
rice field by my gate

rice seedlings–
a little family watches
the evening rain

departing the facing mountain
it comes this way…
little cloudburst
morning rain–
a butterfly licks
it up

in spring rain
Kamakura’s sparrows…
how they sing!

A summer shower ;
The rain beats
On the heads of the carp.
