Zen Haiku Poems – Moonlight
The Autumn moon
Shining so brightly
So I wrote this.
Sekkei
Cry not, insects
For even stars in love
Must endure separation.
Issa
Watching the cormorant fishing boats
In time
I was full of sorrow.
Basho
Some villages have no sea bream
Some no flowers
But all see tonight’s moon.
Saikaku
