Haiku poet Matsuo Basho

Did she fall asleep?
Entrusting your soul to a nightingale,
Willow weeping?
2
Withered branch -
Crow shelter.
Autumn evening.
3
A butterfly too
Came to eat
Salad of white chrysanthemum flowers.
4
Old pond.
A frog dived -
The water splashed.
5
Under the tree
Cherry blizzard
My soup and fish fall asleep with flowers.
6
Autumn frost!
You will touch with your hand,
And tears are fluttering on the palm.
7
A hundred views in a short moment
In the heat
They drew clouds.
8
Camellia? A plum?
I wonder what in the past
Was this an old man?
9
Who traveled on the autumn wind
Slept in the open sky
He can understand my songs!
10
Sparrow my friend
Don't touch the little bastard
What is playing on the flower!
11
The water froze
Splitting the jug.
And a sudden crack woke me up.
12
The banana trees are trashed
Autumn wind.
The rain is pattering in the chest.
thirteen
How easily I live in this world!
All the wealth
Pumpkin jug.
14
Kruzhaltsym
Or by four parts
Shall I cut this first melon?
1 Camellia is an evergreen tree or shrub.
15
The hail is unexpected
Beats angrily
My cypress winged hat.
16
What to treat yourself to?
From the food in my house -
Unless these mosquitoes are small.
17
Wake up, friend!
Light a fire!
I want to show a miracle - a lump of snow!
18
Autumn's first mist!
Even a monkey
He seems to be dreaming of a raincoat.
19
Goodbye spring!
The birds are chirping
Fish have silent tears in their eyes.
20
Fell into the bay
An orphan cry -
The voice of the cuckoo.
21
Cruelty of fate!
Helmet warrior
It became a small shelter for the grasshopper.
22
After sweeping the yard,
Was going to leave the temple, -
White willow leaves again!
23
What bliss!
The scent of snow
It comes from the Southern Valley.
24
Well, kids!
Let's run away together
From this violent hailstorm!
25
Ups and downs!
A bamboo sprout
One becomes a person in the end.
26
Spring haze.
Plum blossom and the moon —
Completed landscape!
27
Even a crow
What fed up with everyone.
She looks beautiful on a snowy morning!
28
Whitening
Washed bulbs until shiny.
Autumn cold!
29
In the morning dew.
And even in the mud,
How fresh this melon seems!
30
As autumn approaches,
It's tighter in the house
Souls and hearts are coming together.
31
I was going to the bazaar,
But changed my mind.
I'd better look at the clear moon!
32
to lean on
I grab the ear of corn, -
Separation despair!
33
Behind the range of mountains,
As if rain from a cloud,
The snowy peak of Fujiyama!
34
This road is
So empty, deserted!
Autumn twilight.

Haiku, like Shogi, originated in Japan.
It is difficult to express in English.
