Quiet Pond
An old silent pond
A frog jumps into the pond—
Splash! Silence again.
- Matsuo Bashō
Classic Haikus
Summer's End
Over the wintry
Forest, winds howl in rage
With no leaves to blow.
- Natsume Sōseki
Riverside Afternoon
In the cicada's cry
No sign can foretell
How soon it must die.
- Matsuo Bashō
