doorway curtain
deep in the interior a wife
plum blossoms

doorway curtain
deep in the interior a wife
plum blossoms
– Matsuo Bashō
both weary
taking lodging at the same time
wisteria flowers
– Matsuo Bashō
seeing plum blossoms
the spring song of an ox
bellows yes
– Matsuo Bashō

spring begins
still on the ninth day
in mountains and fields
– Matsuo Bashō
higher than the lark
resting in the sky
on the mountain pass
– Matsuo Bashō
drink up
we’ll make a flower vase
out of the cask
– Matsuo Bashō
a grass pillow
is the best to use when coming
to view cherry blossoms
– Matsuo Bashō
since the cherry blossoms
I’ve waited three months to see
the twin-trunk pine
– Matsuo Bashō
a nun living alone
cold-hearted in a thatched house
a white azalea
– Matsuo Bashō
under blossoms overnight
I should name myself
a purified gourd
– Matsuo Bashō
in full bloom
may the plum not be touched
by the wind’s hand
– Matsuo Bashō
butterfly wings
how many times have they flown
over the wall's roof
– Matsuo Bashō
mountain cherries
first of all the two
tiled roofs
– Matsuo Bashō
hiding himself
can the tea pickers hear
the cuckoo
– Matsuo Bashō
Such a harsh headline, but this #sumo #basho is looking to get very interesting.

blooming wildly
among the peach trees
first cherry blossoms
– Matsuo Bashō
