haiku #590: dreadful the stream / without so much as a name! / early-summer rains

paperweights
on the store’s comicbooks –
spring breeze

The author of the week is Takai Kito, a disciple of Yosa Buson. Despite becoming a professional haikai master in 1771, Kito remained one of Buson’s most trusted disciples until the death of the great master and was the de facto coordinator of Buson’s haikai group.

This original version of "Downstream Procrastination" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 590: Dreadful The Stream.

dreadful the stream
without so much as a name!
early-summer rains

by: Yosa Buson

One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.
