making its presence known
-- We wait for Spring.

Broken window
catches the lace curtain

They could be about any and everything. Its interesting how many scholars and laypeople that do not believe that Issa's ku were #hokku in that time. Out of all the Four masters, Issa's ku were the most earthy and colloquial and featured all manner of things and people. (IMHO)

Cold morning light;
A buck crossing yards and driveways
pauses to look back.

Four geese fly—
One lags behind;
Frost on fallen leaves.

Damp December morn;
Amid the camellia’s buds—
A single bloom.

Gray skies;
Crows on the power lines
Shake wet wings.

First of December;
From chimes on the black cherry
A single note.

Mount the roof. Wait. There's 50

On the windowsill.

Frogpond 36.2 - Renku

Renga, and renku, are vital to read up, and explore, to understand better the dynamic of haiku, the oh-so-small two part poem and its 'link and shift' classic motif.

Morning fog;
In the deep fallen leaves
Squirrels forage.
