early Spring leaves,
catching the morning light,
look Autumn yellow.

a couple of rice cakes:

are tousled by

in the Daoist temple

Four Seasonal Haiku of Ryōkan [w/ Audio]
Spring
rainy days
make the monk Ryōkan
feel sad.
Summer
the moon in my window
is all the thief left behind.
Autumn
an autumn wind
chills the dangling persimmons,
and my testicles.
Winter
little birds have
gathered in the brushwood
on a snowy morn.

Red [Haiku]

catch the morning sunlight
to show depths of red.

Ripe Grass [Haiku]
heavy-headed grass sways:
the clockwork counting down
the days of Autumn.

Four Seasonal Haiku of Sōgi [w/ Audio]
SPRING
Despite the storm,
Spring's herald makes it through:
Scent of plum blossom.
SUMMER
Abundant fireflies
This year, but this morning
None are to be seen.
AUTUMN
Autumn sea:
A boat moves, leaf-like,
In the floating world.
WINTER
Winter rains
Cross the mountains
On rising clouds.

Four Seasonal Haiku of Masaoka Shiki [w/ Audio]
SPRING
on wet feet,
the sparrows hop
down the hall.
SUMMER
the owl naps,
and dreams of a
summer grove.
AUTUMN
sunny autumn day:
smoke from something burning
rises skyward.
WINTER
a snowy night;
the sound of bamboo
rustling.
