🌸 🌲 Classical Japanese Poetry 🍁 ❄

The advantage to read difficult poems is that you appreciate more the easier ones, like this haiku written by Matsuo Bashô :

様々の
事思い出す
桜かな

samazama no
koto omoidasu
sakura kana

They make me remember
so many different things,
the cherry flowers…

Winter is slowly arriving at its end… just a few weeks to wait before the full bloom of the cherry trees :cherry_blossom:

If anyone can help with the poem 83 I would really appreciate it, I am not totally sure about my understanding of it and still don’t see the origin of that strange あへぬ :thinking:
