Three of my most favourite Haiku from the Master himself.
Wrapping dumplings in
bamboo leaves, with one finger,
she tidies her hair
The old pond
A frog leaps in
The sound of water…
Won’t you come and see
the loneliness? Just one leaf
from the kiri tree.
I love Basho.

😀 But the first one is a new one (for me) and painted a very homely familiar scene 🙂
