The slow day,
a pheasant
settles on the bridge.
Buson

The sparrow is singing,
its small mouth
open.
Buson

The spring rain;
a little girl teaches
the cat to dance.

An exhausted sparrow
in the midst
of the crowd of children

Le ciel noir
les nez rouges,
Et la neige.
René Maublanc

(Translated in English)
Black sky,
Red noses,
and snow.

Spring rain
conveyed under the trees
in drops.
Basho

A green willow,
dripping down into the mud,
at low tide.
Basho

With every gust of wind,
the butterfly change its place
on the willow.
Basho

By the old temple,
peach blossoms;
a man treading rice.
Basho

The old pond
a frog jumping,-
the sound of water.
Basho

Winter downpour-
even the monkey
needs a raincoat.
