For poetry day, I will allow Issa to speak in regards to my sojourn by the sea.
iso-dera ya zashiki no kiri mo tae-dae ni
seaside temple--
the room in the mist
grows faint
mi-botoke to issh ni kasumu atama kana
me and Buddha--
our heads
in the mist
ao no ha wa shiohi nagure no karasu kana
some stay behind
in the green leaves...
low tide crows
murasaki no kumo ni itsu noru nishi no umi
on purple clouds
when will I set sail?
