winter moon rising

.

Full winter moon –

on the straw mat,

pine shadow.

Kidadu (1661 – 1707)

Miles of frost –

on the lake

pauses to sing.

Buson

Lost in bamboo,

but when moon lights –

my house.

Issa

Winter lull –

no talents,

thus no sins.

full moon rising

on Cimmaron ridge,

early February evening

Barn’s burnt down-

now

I can see the moon.
