Poems by Matsuo Basho
Heat waves shimmering
... above the dead grass ...
This old village
... without persimmon trees ...
Cold night: the wild duck
... Cold night: the wild duck, ...
When the winter chrysanthemums go
... When the winter chrysanthemums go, ...
The morning glory also
... turns out not to be my friend ...
Staying at an inn
... where prostitutes are also sleeping-- ...
Blowing stones
... Blowing stones along the road on Mount Asama, ...
Teeth sensitive to the sand
... Teeth sensitive to the sand ...
Bush warbler
... Bush warbler: shits on the rice cakes ...
Chilling autumn rains
... curtain Mount Fuji, then make it ...
On New Year's Day
... each thought a loneliness ...
The she cat
... The she cat - Grown thin ...
Winter downpour
... Winter downpour - ...
The passing spring
... Birds mourn, Fishes weep ...
With a warbler
... a soul, it sleeps peacefully, ...
