weak levees yielded
weeds won out where neighbors fled
mold, city still fight

#49 -Famous funny, beautiful haiku
I recently took a book out of the library called ” A Little Treasury of Haiku. ” It is a nice compilation of classic haiku poems, here are some I enjoyed, I hope you will as well.
Stupid hot melons
Rolling like fat idiots
Out from leafy shade!
~Kyora
Love it, too funny 🙂
In the twilight rain
These brilliant hued hibiscus…
A lovely sunset

#48 -patient hunter
seagulls haunting call
large, looming shadow above
hunt stale bread on lawn

#40 – some new to me favorites
Cherry-Blossom Time
In my old home
which I forsook, the cherries
are in bloom
Nature Note
A bush warbler comes:
all muddy are the feet he wipes
upon the blooming plums.
Issa (1762-1826) inserts humor and humanity into his haiku that I find very comforting and appealing.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I have, I found them in an ancient looking little book from the library called An Introduction to Haiku.
