Roberta Beary & Vassilis Zambaras: Wednesday Haiku, #49

Utagawa Hiroshige

moon viewing
mother's small hand lifts
in farewell

 W. J. Neatby

Nightingales near
the river.

No superfluous noise.

                Vassilis Zambaras

Eishōsai Chōki

When I see the ocean,
Whenever I see it,
Oh, my mother!

Issa
translated by R. H. Blyth

Ōshukubai

cherry blossoms scatter--
a nightingale sings
I cry

Issa
translated by David G. Lanoue

best,

Don
