Kobayashi Issa

• In my old home
• which I forsook, the cherries
• are in bloom.

• A giant firefly:
• that way, this way, that way, this -
• and it passes by.

• Right at my feet -
• and when did you get here,
• snail?

• My grumbling wife -
• if only she were here!
• This moon tonight...

• A lovely thing to see:
• through the paper window's hole,
• the Galaxy.

• A man, just one -
• also a fly, just one -
• in the huge drawing room.

• A sudden shower falls -
• and naked I am riding
• on a naked horse!
