Haiku about Winter (12)

I visited the old pond in Akita the other day, which reminded me of Basho's haiku about that old pond. And I wrote the following haiku.

The old carp

meditates in depth

winter pond

冬の池深きに思う老鯉かな

Fuyu no ike fukaki ni omou rouri kana

Snowflakes

visit the old pond

one by one

雪片のしげく古池見舞いけり

Seppen no shigeku furuike mimai keri
