Here are a few haiku from Twitter:

when there are mountains, I look at mountains 

when there is a rainy day, I listen to the rain              

    ― Santoka (tr. Gabi Greve)

an afternoon nap 

first spring rainbow 

best of days  

Issa

open the door 

let the moonlight  

enter your temple   

Basho

with a whisper  

a flock of birds 

bursting into flight   

Issa

nothing but  

a calm heart 

and cool air  

Issa

even the 

thorn brush

is blooming! 

Issa

morning rain

the birds celebrating

their successful return 

Issa

sunshine 

passing through 

a sleeping butterfly  

Ranko 

being alive 

in the shadow 

of cherry blossoms  

Issa
