Haiku: Continued...

It's midnight now where I live, and here are a few more Haiku for those that enjoy fleeting and beautiful imagery.

Edo Period Art. 

Blossoms on the pear;                     Nashi no hana
and a woman in the moonlight        tsuki ni fumi yomu
reads a letter there...                        onna ari...
–Yosa Buson (1716-1784)








A one-foot waterfall                         Isshaku no
it too makes noises, and at night       taki mo oto shite
the coolness of it all!                         yusuzumi.
