Matsuo Basho Cold Poems
- 1. The Winter Leeks
The winter leeks
Have been washed white --
How cold it is!
... - 2. A Cold Rain Starting
A cold rain starting
And no hat --
So?
... - 3. Cold Night: The Wild Duck
Cold night: the wild duck,
sick, falls from the sky
and sleeps awhile.
... - 4. Awake At Night
Awake at night--
the sound of the water jar
cracking in the cold.
... - 5. Collection Of Six Haiku
Waking in the night;
the lamp is low,
the oil freezing.
... - 6. Cold As It Was
Cold as it was
We felt secure sleeping together
In the same room.
