the flower bows <br />and bows <br />the bee's backside towards me <br /> <br />beauty and the beast <br />the bee kisses <br />the rose <br /> <br />piercing my eyes <br />the bee's backside <br />at centre of bloom <br /> <br /> <br />inspired by <br /> <br />A bee <br />staggers out <br />of the peony. <br /> <br />Translated by Robert Hass <br />Matsuo Basho<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/haiku-a-bee/
