#442 – Famous spring haiku

The spring night-

in a dawn of cherry blossoms

it ended

~Basho

Spring too, very soon!
They are setting the scene for it —
plum tree and moon

~Basho

Under the image of Buddha
All these spring flowers
Seem a little tiresome.

~Basho

#440- undisturbed

blown open by wind

gate bangs against picket fence

old dog undisturbed

dressed like easter eggs

the women of the morning

walk, run through town

trying on spring’s clothes

defying the odds

winter’s lone dandelion
