Garden Haiku

Photography by
Jim Austin


Insects
scattering in the grasses --

sound-colors

Chora

Fallen leaves
fall on each other--

rain beats on the rain

Gyotai

The leaf of an
unknown tree is clinging

to the mushroom

Basho

The dragonfly
has dyed his body

autumn

Bakusui

The butterfly
is standing on tiptoes

at the ebb tide. 

Chiyo-Ni

Both grasses and trees
waiting for the moon

dewy evening

Sogi

Wait! Don't strike that fly
he's wringing his hands there

and wringing his feet

Issa

Frolic
on each blade of grass

pearls of dew

Ransetsu

Just one
red berry has fallen--

frosty garden

Shiki

Dragonflies
quiet their mad darting--

crescent moon

Kikaku

Morning glories-
blown to the earth

and blooming again

Issa

The winter storm
hides in the bamboo

and becomes silent

Basho
