Poems by Kobayashi Issa
How much
... How much are you enjying yourself, tiger moth? ...
Seen
... Seen through a telescope: ...
A cuckoo sings
... A cuckoo sings to me, to the mountain, ...
Ducks bobbing on the water
... Ducks bobbing on the water-- ...
It once happened
... that a child was spared punishment ...
All the time I pray to Buddha
... All the time I pray to Buddha ...
The crow
... as if it were tilling the field ...
Windy fall
... these are the scarlet flowers ...
New Year's morning
... the ducks on the pond ...
New Year's Day
... everything is in blossom! ...
The moon tonight
... I even miss her grumbling ...
Asked how old he was
... stretched out all five fingers ...
The man pulling radishes
... pointed my way with a radish ...
The snow is melting
... and the village is flooded ...
Having slept, the cat gets up
... Having slept, the cat gets up, ...
