Iranian Haiku Part I: Nature



1

Plane tree reflected—
through the running stream
the image flows.

2

A quiet lake.
A fish leaps—
the cloud breaks apart.

3

Over the small pond
a frog's song
ripples the moon.

4

A sparrow
drinks the moon
from a bowl of water.

5

On the naked poplar
the crow
lands more softly.

6

In the dry reeds
only the wind
keeps playing.

7

Snowy morning—
fox tracks,
the silence of the road.

8

Night snow.
The apple tree,
an empty nest.

9

Desert night—
the full moon,
the chill of sand.
