Cat Haiku by Kobayashi Issa (1763 - 1828)
ariake ya ie nashi neko mo koi wo naku
at dawn
the homeless cat, too
cries for love
koi neko no genji mekasuru kakine kana
the lover cat
dandied up like Genji
at the hedge
kagerô ni nani yara neko no negoto kana
heat shimmers--
how the cat talks
in her sleep!
kôbai ni hoshite oku nari aria neko
among red plum blossoms
drying from its bath
a cat
yamadera ya soshi no yurushi no neko no koi
mountain temple--
with the Founder's blessing
cats make love
kuraki yori kuraki ni iru ya neko no koi
from darkness
into darkness
the lover cat
