On our visit to Japan; just a few cherry blossom petals remain.
ah spring spring
how great is spring!
and so on
summer's near
cover the mouth of the wind sack
to save the blossoms
composed at Nijiko
patter patter
petals of tiny flowers drop
a waterfall of sound
All three haiku by Basho
translated by Jane Reichhold in her
Basho; The Complete Haiku
