Matsuo Basho Butterfly Poems
- 1. With Every Gust Of Wind
With every gust of wind,
the butterfly changes its place
on the willow.
... - 2. A Caterpillar
A caterpillar,
this deep in fall--
still not a butterfly.
... - 3. Flower
Flower
under harvest sun - stranger
To bird, butterfly.
... - 4. The Butterfly
The butterfly is perfuming
It's wings in the scent
Of the orchid.
... - 5. Deep Into Autumn
Deep into autumn
and this caterpillar
still not a butterfly
...
