#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

moonless night…
a powerful wind embraces
the ancient cedars

all night
autumn winds being heard
behind the mountains
