Spring Shore
(February 23 at the plum garden in Sugita)
Were it not for my love
Who awaits me at home,
I, too, would be a hunter by the sea
Searching for shells![1]
Peonies in the Rain
Having gone out with a light
To see the peony blossoms
Bathed in rain,
I ended by getting thoroughly wet.
Lotus Pond
All night long,
In rain and in darkness,
Over the lotus pond
A lantern of the keeper
Swings in the wind.
- ↑ To go shell-gathering at low tide in early spring is one of the annual events in Japan.
