Haiku's or Poetry of Zen Master Basho part 2

•    Moonlit plum tree --

Wait,

Spring will come.

 


•    Dying cricket --


 

How full of

Life,

his song.


•    Yellow rose petals

Thunder --

A waterfall.


•    Moor:

Point my horse where birds sing.


•    The passing days and months

Are eternal travelers in time.


•    Early spring

A nameless hill knee deep

In the gauze of morning stillness.



•    Harvest moon:

Around the pond i wander

And the night is gone.


•    Along the mountain road

Somehow it tugs at my heart:

A wild violet.


•    Sitting silently,

Doing nothing

And the grass grows by itself.




•    For his morning tea

A monk sits down in utter silence --

Confronted by chrysanthemums. - Basho


•    The evening haze.

Thinking of past things --

How far off they are.
