Carpe Diem Special #202 Basho’s Disciples: Shiba Sonome’s “nobody sees”
Here are some haiku I liked by Chiyo-Ni ( Shiba Sonome) who lived in the Edo period of Japanese History.
Airing out kimonos
as well as her heart
is never enough. © CHIYO-NI
Again the women
come to the fields
with unkempt hair. © CHIYO-NI
Just for today
using men
for rice-planting. © CHIYO-NI
Rouged lips
forgotton —
clear spring water. © CHIYO-NI
