Looking at the Moon


Clouds come from time to time -
and bring to men a chance to rest
from looking at the moon.

Alone


Won't you come and see
loneliness? Just one leaf
from the kiri tree.

Temples

Temple bells die out.
The fragrant blossoms remain.
A perfect evening!

Hawks and Quails

Now that eyes of hawks
in dusky night
are darkened . . .
Chirping of the quails

Murmuring Mogami

The river
Gathering may rains
from cold streamlets
for the sea . . .
Murmuring Mogami

Dewdrops

Dewdrop, let me cleanse
in your brief
sweet waters . . .
These dark hands of life

satya - 6/27/2017, 10:36:12 PM

Moon again

Glorious the moon . . .
therefore our thanks
dark clouds
Come to rest our necks

satya - 6/27/2017, 10:39:27 PM

Are we there yet

Nine times arising
to see the moon . . .
whose solemn pace
Marks only midnight yet

Monument

Here, where a thousand
captains swore grand
conquest . . . Tall
Grass their monument
