Masaoki Shiki Spring Poems
- 1. Haiku 13
spring rain:
browsing under an umbrella
at the picture-book store
... - 2. Haiku 10
fanning out its tail
in the spring breeze,
seeâ??a peacock!
... - 3. Tanka 12
in memory of
the spring now passing
I drew
the long clusters of wisteria
... - 4. Tanka 09
two feet tall,
the crimson-budded roses,
their young thorns
tender in
... - 5. Tanka 04
In the spring chill,
as I slept with sword by pillow,
deep at night
my little sister came to me
...
