Famous Haiku

• An old silent pond...
  A frog jumps into the pond,
  splash! Silence again.

  - Bashō

  
  

  • Toward those short trees
    We saw a hawk descending
    On a day in spring.

    - Shiki

    
    

    • Winter seclusion -
      Listening, that evening,
      To the rain in the mountain.

      - Issa

      Written by: Matsuo Basho  

      In the cicada's cry 

      No sign can foretell 

      How soon it must die.
