Notes About The Poem
Because Issa's life was marked by tragic deaths in his family, most of the ku he wrote highlighted the theme on dew, an attempt to depict such as a common symbol of demise, of fleeting wheeze of life...Sotto Poet's Issa Kobayashi inspired Contest
dew on dew
cascade of pearled dew --
slithering on frail petals
becomes winter tears
~
fresh ash in urn
strewn across gusty winds --
autumn burial
