Haiku
The old pond Udskriv

The old pond
A frog jumps in
The sound of water
 
It is deep autumn Udskriv
It is deep autumn
My neighbor
How does he live, I wonder
 
Yes, spring has come Udskriv
Yes, spring has come
This morning a nameless hill
Is shrouded in mist
 
The butterfly is perfuming Udskriv
The butterfly is perfuming
It's wings in the scent
Of the orchid
 
From time to time Udskriv
From time to time
The clouds give rest
To the moon beholders
 
Along this road Udskriv
Along this road
Goes no one;
This autumn evening
 
Ah, summer grasses! Udskriv
Ah, summer grasses!
All that remains
Of the warriors dreams
 
Moonlight slants through Udskriv
Moonlight slants through
The vast bamboo grove:
A cuckoo cries
