Variations of haiku on themes by Issa, Basho, and Frost.
mocking a farmer
Who’s sowing his corn, —
a crow cackling, I can wait
A withered branch
a crow stopped to rest,
— it’s winter
A bit more sinister …
A withered branch
a crow kept an eye on me
as he rested
one after another
crow after crow
comes in disorder
the crow shook snow
down on me
from a tree
