First winter rain--
even the monkey
seems to want a raincoat.

Spring rain
leaking through the roof
dripping from the wasps' nest.

A cold rain starting
And no hat --
So?

As they begin to rise again
Chrysanthemums faintly smell,
After the flooding rain

under my tree-roof
slanting lines of april rain
separate to drops
... - 6. I'm A Wanderer
I'm a wanderer
so let that be my name รข??
the first winter rain

Waking in the night;
the lamp is low,
the oil freezing.

Passing through the world
Indeed this is just
Sogi's rain shelter

On the cow shed
A hard winter rain;
Cock crowing.
