“April's air stirs in
Willow-leaves...a butterfly
Floats and balances”
― Matsuo Bashō, Japanese Haiku

“Don't touch my plumtree!
Said my friend and saying so...
Broke the branch for me”
― Taigi, Japanese Haiku
“Dead my old fine hopes
And dry my dreaming but still...
Iris, blue each spring”
― Shushiki, Japanese Haiku
