Two Haikus by Kobayashi Issa

March 23, 2019 rjhoneysett2012haiku, IssaLeave a comment

The World of dew is
A world of dew …and yet
And yet…

Stop! don’t swat the fly
Who wrings his hands,
Who wrings his feet.

Two Haikus by Kobayashi Issa

Haiku after a heatwave

July 28, 2018July 31, 2018 rjhoneysett2012haikuLeave a comment

This is a haiku about thermal mass. A world first?

The old walls haven’t
Forgotten yesterday’s heat –
there’s no rushing them

Haiku after a heatwave

bare branch: neither of us can

Fat pigeons already
Harvesting buds amongst the
Plum blossom

Fat pigeons – drat them –
already harvesting buds
amongst plum blossom

Fresh from the drier
