Gloaming-
The lingering taste of
the first fig !
-Tonbo

I came back,
Having seen a gigantic tree-
The summer mountains
-Ranko

 

Tonbo

Last light;
Some blossoms sway,
some don't
-Tonbo

summer mountains-
the songs of the warbler,
wren, and robin

But for the tapping
of the woodpecker,
the house's silence!
-Basho

Noon heat-
The slow descent of
catkin fluff !
-Tonbo

A long time
before it reveals itself-
The mocking bird !
-Tonbo

The sound of the bell,
as it leaves the bell-
The coolness !
-Buson

There is no trace
of him who entered
the summer grove
-Shiki

Unperturbed
by the frog's splash-
the dragonfly !
-Tonbo

Gathering dusk-
Somewhere a dove's
startled flutter !
-Tonbo

New leaves;
The dulcet notes of
the hidden bird !
-Tonbo

It's traces on
one, just one flower-
the summer shower !
-Tonbo

Heat waves;
The holes of the stick
that went to the temple !
-Issa

Even with insects,
Some can sing
Some cannot
-Issa

Rain forecast;
An ant exploring an
unopened blossom
-Tonbo

tender new leaves

of the maple tree-
the coolness

-Tonbo

The octopus trap:

Fleeting dreams under a

Summer moon

-Basho

Last light;
Stumbling in a sunflower-
A bee !

Ah, poppies
your large prayer beads
swaying, rustling
-Issa

This line of ants;
It continues from those
billowing clouds?
-Issa

The summer moon;
On the river's other shore-
Who is it?
-Chora
