New Year Haiku

New Year Haiku

A little late, but the old haiku masters’ take on New Year’s…

New Year’s Day
my hovel
the same as ever

Issa (1763 - 1827)

Has spring already come?
I feel wealthy this New Year
with five sho of old rice

Basho (1644-94)

New Year’s Day
nothing good or bad -
just human beings

Shiki (1867 - 1902)

(Seen at Lumpy Pudding)
