I usually write my own haiku, but this week I was reading a book called "Japanese Haiku" printed in 1956 from the local library. Here are a few that spoke to me:
In these dark waters
drawn up from
my frozen well...
glittering of spring
-Ringai
Arise from sleep, old cat
and with great yawns
and stretchings...
amble out for love
-Issa
Moon so bright for love
come closer, quilt...
enfold
my passionate cold!
-Sampu
Ah, unrequited love
now elevate your
chin
and keen
Tom-cat, to the moon!
-Kyorai
