Issa ("cup-of-tea") was also a priest did you know.

I also like Shiki's offerings.

Yup. I learned about him through my son when he went to school while I was stationed in Japan for six years. It’s part of their curriculum inside the base school to learn the Japanese culture.

Issa is one of the ”Big Four” of haiku along with Shiki, Basho and Buson.

the moonflower's face,
the snake gourd's fart

Interesting! You present...an enigma! :idea: Causes inner thinking.


If I may humbly suggest: to avoid "empty" words such as "the/a".

Clearer descriptors can help a tighter focus the reader's mind...ie. sad moonflower's face/cold moonflower's face, or some other specific adjective.

In the same way, "the snake" takes on added meaning with, "black/cold/dark/thick/short snake's gourd's fart".
