Some Winter Haiku

Hasui Kawase

Winter solitude ー 

 in a world of one color 

 the sound of wind."  

― Basho Matsuo (tr. Robert Hass) 

cold rain 
unhappy trees 
waiting for snow   

Basho

a bird 
breaking out in song 
in the evening rain  

Issa

"Amidst life and death, 
 Snow continues to fall."   Santoka  

Kyoshi Takahama 

"On snow, snow falling, 
 In this silence ― 
 I am."       Santoka
