Haiku |
| We’re chippin' at the moon with an old bone |
| Issa and her sister chip until the moon is gone |
| An endless row of wagons in the snow |
| Issa grabs her sister says c’mon let’s go ‘cause |
| Yeah, I think I’ll write a haiku |
| Well, you know as well as I do |
| You gotta, gott have a high IQ |
| So eat this and have a cup of tea |
| Widow lighting lamps at cock crow |
| Sengai stamps to help his blood flow |
| From his brush figures rush |
| In the middle sits a poet |
| Almost smothered, almost crushed, crying |
| «yeah, I think I’ll write a haiku…» |
| (Systole, diastole |
| Dealing with the parts but |
| Feeling with the whole.) |
| Yo! |
| Han Shan’s tears, small worlds |
| Resting on the spears of warlords |
| In the wood a drop of blood |
| Hits an inky pond which ripples as it should… |
