Poems by Kobayashi Issa All the time I pray to Buddha Asked how old he was A bath when youre born A cuckoo sings A huge frog and I Blossoms at night Children imitating cormorants Dont know about the people Dont worry spiders Ducks bobbing on the water Even on the smallest islands Even with insects Face of the spring moon Having slept the cat gets up Hey sparrow How much Im going out In spring rain In these latter-day In the thickets shade In this world It once happened Last time I think Napped half the day Napping at midday New Years Day New Years morning Not knowing Not very anxious No doubt about it Pissing in the snow Seen Summer night That pretty girl That wren These sea slugs The crow The man pulling radishes The moon tonight The pheasant cries The snow is melting The toad It looks like This moth saw brightness Under my house Under the image of Buddha Visiting the graves What a strange thing Windy fall With my father Writing shit about new snow
