In honour of the first day of Spring, one of my favorite haikus:
The snow is melting
and the village is flooded
with children
-Kobayashi Issa
also, the altered version floating around DC:
The snow is melting
and the White House is flooded
with scandal
-Henry Waxman

Here are my two favorite haikus by Issa
Writing shit about new snow
for the rich
is not art.
That pretty girl--
munching and rustling
the wrapped-up rice cake.
