• Cuckoo,

Take me up to where

Clouds drift. - Uko

• The thief

Left it behind --

The moon at the window. - Ryokan  

• A cloud,

Trying to enwrap the moonbeams,

A monsoon shower. - Basho

• The moon in the water;

Broken and broken again,

Still it is there. - Choshu

• Listen,

All creeping things --

The bell of transience. - Issa

• I leave,

You stay --

Two autumns. - Buson

• Full autumn moon --

On the straw mat,

Pine shadow. - Kikaku

• I have nothing at all --

But this tranquility!

This coolness! - Issa

• Birth of art --

Song of rice planters,

Chorus from nowhere. - Basho
