haiku
These are the haiku used to create the haiku madlibs
In the twilight rainthese brilliant-hued hibiscus -
A lovely sunset
- Basho
From time to time
The clouds give rest
To the moon-beholders.
- Basho
No one travels
Along this way but I,
This autumn evening.
- Basho
In the cicada's cry
No sign can foretell
How soon it must die.
- Basho
An old silent pond...
A frog jumps into the pond,
splash! Silence again.
- Basho
Over-ripe sushi,
The Master
Is full of regret.
- Buson
Blowing from the west
Fallen leaves gather
In the east.
- Buson
The wren
Earns his living
Noiselessly.
- Issa
Winter seclusion -
Listening, that evening,
To the rain in the mountain.
- Issa
Sparrow's child
out of the way, out of the way!
the stallion's coming through
- Issa
Don't weep, insects
Lovers, stars themselves,
Must part.
- Issa
Consider me
As one who loved poetry
And persimmons.
- Shiki
My life,
How much more of it remains?
The night is brief.
- Shiki
Toward those short trees
We saw a hawk descending
On a day in spring.
- Shiki
I kill an ant
and realize my three children
have been watching.
- Kato Shuson
Over the wintry
forest, winds howl in rage
with no leaves to blow.
- Soseki
