even the fields
have a morning attitude
blue mist
I found this poem by Issa this morning, thanks to the amazing Basho Society‘s Twitter account.
Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.
