haiku

A lovely thing to see:
through the paper window's hole,
the Galaxy.

Issa

The thief left it behind:
the moon
at my window.

Ryokan
tr. Stephen Mitchell

My own foolishness must be endured-- the window darkened by snowy bamboo.
gu ni taeyo to mado wo kurosu yuki no take

(A boat trip.)
The night is brief-- At Fushimi the doors are closed, at Yodo windows opened.
majikayo ya Fushimi no toboso Yodo no mado

Yosa Buson
