the second of March
warm, then cold, then dry, then wet
snake eyes open, shut

Poet's Corner: On the Way to Nara by Basho

I've got haikus on the brain today. It's been a very long time since I've posted a poem but I plan to post a lot next month so I am warming up. Here's a haiku from the master of the form, Basho.

On the Way to Nara by Basho [trans. Asataro Miyamore]

Has its veil of morning mist
