In the twilight rain
these brilliant-hued hibiscus . . .
A lovely sunset
~Basho
Silent the old town . . .
the scent of flowers floating . . .
And evening bell
~Basho
Clouds come from time to time
and bring to men a chance to rest
from looking at the moon.
~Basho
Old dark sleepy pool . . .
quick unexpected frog
Goes plop! Watersplash!
