50 Haiku by five Japanese poets compiled in a very simple little volume; my favorites:
Basho:
born of a dream
what can we know
of the real
somehow still not dead
tho the journey’s at its end
autumn darkening
Taigi:
the first flush of love
up against a stone lantern
a face and a face
Issa:
to go from one hot
tub to soak in another
so much silliness
Shiki:
the boat and the shore
conversing all day long in
terms of the water
