Short Poem Sunday

Here's an Issa haiku from Dew on the Grass: the Life and Poetry of Kobayashi Issa by Makoto Ueda:

this loneliness—
whichever way I look
wild violets

Issa

This Issa book is going for almost a hundred dollars on amazon, so I will be featuring haiku from it occasionally in future posts.

About time for a reprint, I'd say.



best,
