 Harvest moon--
called at his house,
he was digging potatoes.

 Old well,
a fish leaps--
 dark sound.

 Sparrow singing--
its tiny mouth
 open.

 Below are eleven Buson haiku
beginning with the phrase
'The short night--'


The short night--
on the hairy caterpillar
beads of dew.

The short night--
patrolmen
washing in the river.

The short night--
bubbles of crab froth
among the river reeds.

The short night--
a broom thrown away
on the beach.

The short night--
the Oi River
has sunk two feet.

The short night--
on the outskirts of the village
a small shop opening.

The short night--
broken, in the shallows,
a crescent moon.

The short night--
the peony
has opened.

The short night--
waves beating in,
an abandoned fire.

The short night--
near the pillow
a screen turning silver.

The short night--
shallow footprints
on the beach at Yui.

The short night-
a watery moon
stands alone over the hill

 Maggie



The short night--
just as I'm falling asleep
my wife's waking up

 Larry Bole

 Early summer rain--
houses facing the river,
 two of them

 Evening wind:
water laps
 the heron's legs.

 Calligraphy of geese
against the sky--
 the moon seals it.

 My arm for a pillow,
I really like myself
under the hazy moon.

 Blow of an ax,
pine scent,
the winter woods.

 Lighting one candle
with another candle--
 spring evening.
