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.

winter’s endurance
tested by early spring warmth
cold renewed today

trying on spring’s clothes
winter wears warmth, sun, mild rain
decides not to buy
