永き日も囀り足らぬひばり哉
nagaki hi mo saezuri taranu hibari kana
all the long day—
but still not tired of singing,
the skylark
—Bashō
I give a more literal translation in the post and explore meaning, connecting it with a poem from the Man’yōshů.

Seek not the paths of the ancients
Seek that which the ancients sought.

Sitting quietly, doing nothing,
Spring comes, and the grass grows,
by itself.
- Matsuo #Bashō
#haiku inspired by #Bashō
Peaks at dawn - nameless,
Beyond thought - swathed in mists of
Spring's solicitude.

Snowdrops bloom afresh
On charnel grounds where pilgrims
Met death in their dreams.

My dreams stray over blooms
Wilted on moorland fields

#poesiejaponaise 🎌 Un chouette podcast à écouter autour du poète japonais Matsuo #Bashō qui au début de l'hiver 1687, reprend sa hotte et sa canne et quitte son Ermitage-au-Bananier, à Edo, pour son pays natal où il passera le Nouvel An 🎍

Peaches at the farmer’s market, Bassinplatz, Potsdam, 26 Oct 2023. (I couldn’t find green peaches.) “Green Peach” (桃青 Tōsē) was a pen name of Matsuo Bashō, the 17th century Edo-period Japanese poet who practically defined the classical haiku.
In my falling heart
I pluck a wise old green peach —
Fruit bears fruit inside
