Muggy summer night
Tardy fireworks bursting
Sadly no rain falls

#130 – Famous haiku to cool you down

staring delighted

even at walking horses

in new morning snow

Basho

midnight wanderer

walking through the snowy street

echoing dog-bark

Shiki

In that cold darkness

my horse stumbled suddenly

just outside the house

Buson

early spring sun sets

along the uneven boardwalk

evening ocean beckons

drooping summer bloom

bows to weight of noon sun

unrequited thirst
