Haiku about Basho's memorial


Matsuo Basho died on November 28, 1694.

According to the lunar calendar, the anniversary of his death fell on October 12 this year.

I visited the poet's statue in Akita, and planned to stay at home and reread his travel journal “The Narrow Road to the Deep North.”

Let me post two haiku I wrote then.


Frozen leaves

carpet Basho's feet

memorial


芭蕉像足元覆ふ霜葉かな

Basho zo ashimoto oou shimoba kana



First hailstone

hits the garden

Basho reread


初霰庭打つ音や芭蕉止む

Hatsu arare uiwa utsu oto ya Basho tomu


These two haiku appeared on the Asahi Haikuist Network by David McMurray on November 20.

Would you please look into the homepage?

    Oh that was too good, Hiruta San :)
    Nature's different moods do bring great poets to mind....infact many a time when the weather changes, I find myself wanting to read poetry :)

    And yes, the other...on the calf was also good...brought a smile :)

    wishes,

    I'm trying to write a haiku here, perhaps thinking also Bashoo ...

    summer's gone --
    an old leaf's
    lap of honor
