SpringA
-
The year's first poem doneB
with smug self confidenceC
a haikai poetD
-
Longer has become the daytimeE
a pheasant is flutteringA
down onto the bridgeF
-
Yearning for the BygonesG
-
Lengthening daysH
accumulating and recallingA
the days of distant pastI
-
Slowly passing daysH
with an echo heard here in aJ
corner of KyotoK
-
The white elbowK
of a priest dozingA
in the dusk of springA
-
Into a noblemanB
a fox has changed himselfL
early evening of springA
-
The light on a candle standM
is transferred to another candleN
spring twilightO
-
A short napP
then awakeningA
this spring day has darkenedQ
-
Who is it forR
this pillow on the floorR
in the twilight of springA
-
The big gateway's heavy doorsS
standing in the dusk of springA
-
Hazy moonlightO
someone is standingA
among the pear treesT
-
Blossoms on the pear treeU
lighten by the moonlight and thereV
a woman is reading a letterW
-
Springtime rain almost darkX
and yet today still lingersY
-
Springtime rainZ
a little shell on a small beachA2
enough to moisten itB2
-
Springtime rain is fallingA
as a child's rag ball is soakingA
wet on the house roofC2

-
SummerW
-
-
Within the quietnessD2
of a lull in visitors' absenceC
appears the peony flowerW
-
Peony having scattered twoE2
or three petals lie on one anotherW
-
The rain of MayF2
facing toward the big river housesG2
just two of themH2
-
At a Place Called Kaya in TanbaK
-
A summer river being crossedI2
how pleasingA
with sandals in my handsJ2
-
The mountain stonecutter's chiselN
being cooled in the clear waterW
-
Grasses wet in the rainZ
just after the festival cart passed byK
-
To my eyes how delightfulN
the fan of my beloved isK2
in complete whiteO
-
A flying cuckooE2
over the Heian capitalN
goes diagonally across the cityU
-
Evening breezeT
water is slapping againstL2
the legs of a blue heronB
-
An old wellM2
jumping at a mosquitoK
the fish's sound is darkX
-
Young bamboo treesT
at Hashimoto the courtesanB
is she still there or notN2
-
After having been fallenB
its image still standsJ2
the peony flowerW
-
Stepping on the Eastern SlopeO2
-
Wild roses in bloomP2
so like a pathway inB
or toward my home villageQ2
-
With sorrow while coming upon the hillR2
flowering wild rosesK2
-
Summer night ending so soonB
with on the river shallows still remainsS2
the moon in a sliverW
-
-
-
-
AutumnB
-
It penetrates into meU
stepping on the comb of my gone wifeT2
in the bedroomP2
-
More than last yearU2
I now feel solitudeV2
this autumn twilightO
-
This being alone may even be a kind of happyU
in the autumn duskW2
-
Moon in the sky's topX2
clearly passes through thisY2
poor town streetZ2
-
This feeling of sadnessD2
a fishing string being blown by the autumn windA3
-
-
-
-
-
WinterW
-
Let myself go to bedB3
New Year's Day is only a matterW
for tomorrowK
-
Camphor tree roots are quietly getting wetC3
in the winter rainy airV
-
A handsaw is soundingA
as if from a poor oneB
at midnight in this winterW
-
Old man's love affairV
in trying to forget itB2
a winter rainfallD3
-
In an old pondE3
a straw sandal is sinkingA
it is sleetingA
