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

link to my youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUMdnvC3w-w

Eternal Recurrence

stillness:
the sound of petals
sifting down together.

Miura Chora (1729-1780) was a Japanese poet from Toba (present-day Mie Prefecture). Early in his career, he came into contact with the Teimon School, and bonded with the great Yosa Buson. An admirer of Matsuo Bashō, he strived for a return to the simple tones and spirit of the latter's poetics, criticizing the vulgarization of haiku of his era and advocating the so-called "return" to a Bashō's style.

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.
