Marathon on Snowshoes in Haiku

(all poetry by Matsuo Basho)



A snowy morning--
by myself,
chewing on dried salmon.



A field of cotton--
as if the moon
had flowered.




What luck!
The southern valley
Make snow fragrant.




On a journey, ailing -
my dreams roam about
over a withered moor.



When the winter chrysanthemums go,
there's nothing to write about
but radishes
