Matsuo Basho — Buddhism now

Haiku: Dank

Two swans through the mist;
drops hang from dank bare branches
Crow’s caw breaks the gloom

Haiku: Rose Field

across the rose fields
autumn birds are gathering –
petals flop to ground

Haiku: Little Worlds

little worlds shimmer
hanging from threads of nothing –
a sudden movement

Haiku: Decay

a soft westerly
drys the line of dancing sheets –
rose petals tumble
