poetry Kobayashi Issa, "Writing shit about new snow" (translation Robert Hass) "Writing shit about new snow / for the rich / is not art" is a blunt instrument, clear about its stand and too short to be a rant.
poetry Yosa Buson, "Yearning for the Past" I believe most of us can relate to getting older, losing friends, and becoming lonelier.
poetry Deborah A. Bennett, "For the heart / very small things" Charity, I’ve learned, is near meaningless without a charitable spirit.
