Matsuo Basho Morning Poems
- 1. Morning And Evening
Morning and evening
Someone waits at Matsushima!
One-sided love
... - 2. The Morning Glories
The morning glories
bloom, securing the gate
in the old fence
... - 3. A Snowy Morning
A snowy morning--
by myself,
chewing on dried salmon.
... - 4. Coolness Of The Melons
Coolness of the melons
flecked with mud
in the morning dew.
... - 5. Four Haiku
Spring:
A hill without a name
Veiled in morning mist.
... - 6. The Morning Glory Also
The morning glory also
turns out
not to be my friend.
... - 7. A Monk Sips Morning Tea
A monk sips morning tea,
it's quiet,
the chrysanthemum's flowering.
... - 8. Even That Old Horse
Even that old horse
is something to see this
snow-covered morning
...
