Snowfall at twilight,Yet a mandarin drake and duckStill lingerOn the ancient lake– Shiki*Under the willowWith a leaf stuck in his mouthThe puppy sleeps– Issa*The little duck looks very wiseWhen he pops up fresh from the sightOf what lies far below the water–Jōsō*The silence!The voice of the cicadaPenetrates the rock!–Bashō*Faraway and faintThe wild goose gives his cry.Since then my thoughts have been fixedOn the middle of the sky–MisuneHaiku selected and illustrated by children’s book author Demi, and translated by her husband, Tze-si Huang. As another reviewer said, “cat on the cover, haiku” – I'm there.Jan 18, 20* Maybe later on my blog.
