Poems by Kobayashi Issa
Napped half the day
... Napped half the day; no one punished me! ...
The pheasant cries
... as if it just noticed ...
The toad! It looks like
... The toad! It looks like ...
In the thicket's shade
... singing the rice-planting song ...
That wren
... That wren-- looking here, looking there ...
[goes out comes back]
... the love life of a cat ...
“On a branch ...”
... On a branch floating downriver ...
[mosquito at my ear]
... Mosquito at my ear&mdash ...

... Under the evening moon ...
Don't Kill That Fly!
... By rubbing its hands and feet ...
About new snow
... Writing shit about new snow ...
Oh snail
... Fuji, but slowly, slowly ...
a world of dew
... The world of dew is, yes, ...
My dear old village
... pierces like a thorn&emsp ...
