a bee reluctant to leave the sweet center of a flower Basho

stepping on big and round acorns wandering around Issa

the river has washed the red hot sun into the sea Basho

one moon countless stars drowned in a green sky Shiki

waves crashing silently over the river of heaven Basho

moon in the east sun in the west flowers in shadow Buson

over the temple ruins a chestnut tree lifts its candles Basho

weeping willows by the waterside mingling with the river Kyorai

the fields and ocean all green early autumn Basho

watering his horse at sunset in the early autumn sea Shiki

like an oak I never change driving hail Basho

the dragonflies a celebrating the autumn festival too Issa

nobody braves this road early autumn night Basho

during the hot and silent afternoon hours a bird perches on the bridge Buson

a hot autumn sun warming my face feeling a cool breeze Basho

insects purging their karma singing repentance Otokuni

the song of a dying cricket is so full of life Basho

my sunny flowers shrouded in ocean mist morning garden dew Sampu

jewels of seashells tangled among the sand and kelp Basho

around a bonfire old men tell stories of earthquakes and tsunamis Kyoroku
