Masaoki Shiki Water Poems
- 1. Haiku 12
old gardenâ??she empties
a hot-water bottle
under the moon
... - 2. Tanka 06
the bucket's water
poured out and gone,
drop by drop
dew drips like pearls
... - 3. Tanka 02
the plaintain at the veranda's edge
unfolds its coiled leaves,
its jewels,
and veils the water basin
...
