First, a couple of haiku in Japanese:

Samui fuyu
Shiroi meigetsu
Yukiakari

Cold winter
White full moon
Brightness of snow

Meigetsu wa
Tsuranuku mado de
Sosogimasu.

The full moon
Through an open window
Pours in.

Now a few in English:

Blowing leaf dances
skillfully eluding me
I rake patiently.

Scattered leaves
Blow across the parking lot.
Arrival of autumn.

Quarter moon smiling
Down like Cheshire Cat, songs
Crickets sing at campfires.

Bassho’s frog went plop!
and never heard from again.
A snapping turtle
