Alenka's
favourite haiku
Classic Haiku
BASHO
the shell of a cicada
it sang itself
utterly away
awakened
at midnight
by the sound of the water jar
cracking from the ice
will you
turn toward me
I am lonely too
this autumn evening
among the
graffiti
the name of
beloved you
BUSON
I go out alone
to visit a man alone
in this autumn dusk
ISSA
the new year arrived
in utter simplicity
and a deep blue sky
SOIN
life
is like a butterfly
whatever it is
