Ezra Pound

"In a Station of the Metro"

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.

"Ts'ai Chi'h"*

The petals fall in the fountain,

the orange-colored rose leaves,

Their ochre clings to the stone.

*Ts'ai Chi'h is the name of a Chinese poet who lived from 192-232 A.D.

Haiku Poems

Basho:

This road—

no one goes down it,

autumn evening.

autumn winds
in the sliding door's opening
a sharp voice
