Poems by Matsuo Basho

On the cow shed

... A hard winter rain ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Eaten alive

... lice and fleas -- now the horse ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

The shallows

... a crane’s thighs splashed ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

From time to time

... To the moon beholders ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Flower

... Flower under harvest sun - stranger ...

Won't you come and see

... loneliness? Just one leaf ...
