great Issa haiku site

August 5, 2011

Issa is one of the more whimsical haiku writers:

he flips a page
of the Lotus Sutra…
a firefly flies

At THIS PAGE you can search his haikus by keyword. I tried “firefly,” since Issa seems to have a special affinity for them.

That would be a great philosophy theme conference– force everyone to defend their positions in haiku form only.
