Some Issas
I haven’t been writing much lately, but I do have a few that I’m working on (found some inspiration in the past few days). I have, however, been back stocking some Issa that I’ve been wanting to post. Enjoy!
.たまに来た古郷の月は曇りけり
tama ni kita furusato no tsuki wa kumori keri
a glimpse of moon
over my home village…
then clouds
.若草や今の小町が尻の跡
wakakusa ya ima no komachi ga shiri no ato
baby grass—
the stylish woman leaves
her butt print

scrawny goose—
honking at his friends
flying north
.軒の雨鉢うつさくら閑しや
noki no ame hachi utsu sakura shizukeshi ya
rain on the eaves—
the potted cherry tree
calm and still

No. 33
as my dragon is
a bit cross today, may I

ethereal bird—
an evanescent moment
of nature’s virtue

his birdly freedom
observes no human limits—
little fisherman

if the birds don’t sing,
like little rain men chanting—
will the spring still come?
