The Friday Poem: Two short poems by Kobayashi Issa


Every Friday we'll have The Friday Poem. (A capitalized title--and italicized!--so you know it's official and whatnot.) Famous poets, obscure poets, amateur poets, whatever poets--just a poem to end the week.

Like these two:


Don't kill that fly! by Kobayashi Issa

Look, don't kill that fly!
It is making a prayer to you
By rubbing its hands and feet.


Don't worry, spiders, by Kobayashi Issa

Don't worry, spiders,
I keep house
casually
