beautiful, delicate adorned in dew the noble blossoms of gentlewomen Basho

flowers ignoring the partygoers are in full bloom Basho

scent of blossoms on a mountain trail sunrise Basho

waves of heat shimmering above the dry grass Basho

wake up, wake up! I would love to be your friend little sleeping butterfly Basho

the fragrance of orchids from a butterfly's wings perfuming my clothes Basho

the human heart wanders too migrating birds Issa

quiet as a flower drinking morning tea Basho

a poem of two stars written on his arm Issa

drink up making a flower vase out of a wine bottle Basho

the fragrance of roasting tea yellow roses Basho

even in the gutters wildflowers have sprouted Issa

a series of storybooks for children the scent of plums Basho

flowers leaning into the path of the sun early summer rain Basho

preparing a field for hemp blossoms the roar of a powerful storm echoing Basho

summer rain quickly gathering into the river Basho

wildflowers celebrating the rain Ogawa

a fading sun shimmering heat lingering Basho

finally a clear sky but no moon in sight summer mountain Issa

floating upon the waves of a lake summer world Basho

the moon by the river is just sliver summer evening Issa

whispers gently through an open window first firefly Issa

in a field of grass every flower is an achievement Basho

alone at sunrise lotus blossoms Issa

rising up from a mountain of trash a small butterfly Issa

secluded behind the waterfall summer retreat begins Basho

a hot sun taken into the sea by the river Basho

a journey for moon viewing departs at dawn Basho

I regret I was not a bird to knock at your door Basho

trees filled with vibrant birds lush blossoms Issa
