Classics
 

       
Another year is gone;
and I still wear
straw hat and straw sandal.

Basho

 

O snail
Climb Mount Fuji,
But slowly, slowly!

Issa

 
again and again
I ask how high
the snow is

Shiki


 
       
Jane Reichold
 
       
Recycling old glass
the rocky beach
jewel-covered
 
  High tide
the secret script
of driftwood scraps
 
  Wrinkling up
along the shore line
an old ocean
 

 
       
Contemporary
 
       
small window
and a bird too fast
to name

Sabine Miller

  the birch
a new bridge
over the brook

Udo Wenzel

  first day of spring—
the slightly sour smell
of my blanket

Karma Tenzing Wangchuk

 
       
Haddonsman        

chill in the air
as the moon sweeps by -
 - an owl
 
 
snow covers
the last leaf
underfoot

 
 
before sunrise
the moon sets
still
