In a light spring rain
a discarded letter blows
through a bamboo grove

light spring rain
art
tulips blossom
a world of trials,
and if the tulip blossoms,
it simply blossoms
flower gazing
in the midst of this world
we stroll along the edge of hell
gazing at flowers
~Issa
100 days…10th day
blown softly away
Blown softly away
in rustling breezes, spring leaves
fields of new grasses
~Issa*

My spring is just this:
a single bamboo shoot
a willow branch

rabbit ears pass
Night of the full moon!
The weather in the north land
Is so uncertain.

the light of a candle
is transferred to another candle –
spring twilight

white blooming
White blooming plum tree –
since whose time has it been there
just outside the hedge?

b&w sunday: rhapsody in black & white
On my coming back,
how many pathways are there
through the spring grasses?

slowly passing days,
their echoing are heard

spring’s fragrance
Fragrance of incense
around a man while he naps –
a cloudy moon.
