I am still reading the Haiku book by Patt, Warkentyne and Till. (ISBN 978-0-7649-5610-2.) The authors have chosen haiku composed by renowned Japenese haiku masters and divided them up by the seasons. I thought it was fitting since we are still in winter to quote another haiku about winter, from this book.
Plains and mountains
all enveloped in snow-
there is nothing else.
Joso, (1661 – 1704)
Haiku are composed of 17 syllables, hence haiku = 17th day of each month.
