Top 20 Haiku Poems

1
 owner of the old thatched hut
Is also changed to another
It’s the Doll’s Festival.

2.
Spring is passing.
The birds cry, and the fishes’ eyes are 
With tears.

3.
The summer grasses.
All that remains
Of warriors’ dreams.

4.
The early summer rain
Fall and fall yet
Leave untouched Hikari-do Hall.

5.
Oh, tranquility!
Penetrating the very rock,
A cicada’s voice.


6.
The rains of summer join together.
How swift it is
Mogami River.

7.
The old pond
A frog leaps in.
Sound of the water.

8.
When you say something,
The lip feel cold.
The Autumn wind.

9.
While rolling the Chimaki dumpling,
The other hand hold,
Her bangs. 

10.
Sicking on journey,
My dream run about
A desolate field.

And within every dewdrop
A world of struggle.

The light of a candle
Is transferred to another candle—
Spring twilight

Erase again, and then
A poppy blooms.



14. “Over the Wintry” by Natsume Sōseki

Over the wintry
Forest, winds howl in rage
With no leaves to blow.

Petals on a wet, black bough.

The taste
Of rain
—Why kneel?

speech and breath. loving you is
a long river running.

sad. Redeemed and wasting clay
this chance. Be of use.

One blue egg all summer long
Now gone

So I decided to include the one I wrote.

With anger comes by, the night
Hence, the end comes forth.
