CHERRY BLOSSOMS
Spring awakened only nine days and look — these fields and mountains BASHO Spring — a hill without a name veiled in morning fog BASHO Spring sun in every pool of water — lingering ISSA Flower petals set the mountain in motion — cherry blossoms HOITSU Spring passes — the last reluctant cherry blossoms BUSON Misty day — they might be gossiping horses in the field ISSA Not in a hurry to blossom — plum tree at my gate ISSA Where there are people there are flies, and there are Bud
