3 late night haiku
Shitayami ni kawakanu aka no shizuku kana
In the darkness beneath the trees,
The dripping of the holy water,
That never dries.
Ryota
Mijika-yo ya makura ni ginbyobu
The short night;
By my pillow
A silver screen.
Buson
Utsukushi ya shoji no ana no ama-no-gawa
What loveliness!
Seen through a crack in the wall
The River of Heaven!
Issa
In the darkness beneath the trees,
The dripping of the holy water,
That never dries.
Ryota

Seen through a crack in the wall
The River of Heaven!

I think that was 7th grade so I'm stretching a bit here, but yes, that seems like a familiar thought. I think I wondered whether there would be a sequel as a result.
