full moon
my ramshackle hut
is what it is
a poor box
four or five pennies
evening rain
the pheasant cries
as if it just noticed
the mountain
Issa
I hope you have enjoyed the writings
of the Japanese Poet Yataro Kobayashi, also known
as Issa (1763 -1827)
It is sort of my mood today.
Please visit and enjoy.
and Blessings
I so often love and admire Japanese poetry.
ReplyDeleteThank you for introducing me to another talented poet.
You simply can't go wrong with Issa. How lovely that he supplied the words when your own failed. Blessings.

Judie. I love this bubble in my tea today... that you would share this, today of all days, just when I most needed to hear pheasant cry... just when I needed to hear the whispers of the trees that surround, hold and love you. Thank you my bloglandia friend.
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible
ReplyDeleteThe words complete a picture which is the purpose. Glad you shared.
Issa ~ words and yours ~ fits my mood too ~ tears ~ Xox

Issa does paint a mood quite beautifully doesn't he? I can imagine the sound of the rain and how it would muffle everything, if there were other noises present.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the haiku, especially the last one--I've seen that shock on many faces, mine included.
ReplyDeleteI hope your mood dances with rainbows... soon.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteSending my good wishes to you.
All the best Jan

ReplyDeleteStay safe

Those Japanes poets are the best - I've never been to Japan but the few words evoke complete landscapes...
ReplyDeleteGreat shares! Thanks, Judie.
