一茶
鶯のはねかへさるるつるべ哉
uguisu no hanekae saruru tsurube kana
David's English
the nightingale
is bouncing about...
well bucket
David’s image
I picture a nightingale landing on a hanging bucket that starts rocking wildly up and down: an ephemeral moment captured in haiku.
sakuo's image.
The nightingale is Issa who lived in 1763—1827
The most famous haiku related to [well bucket] made by Chiyoni lived in 1703—1775
So when Issa look at well bucket, he reminded Chiyoni.
sakuo's Renku
朝顔つるべ
千代尼に参った
asagao turube chiyoni ni maitsuta
the well bucket and morning glory
I surrender to Chiyoni

doris san, I am very pleased to hear your compliment.
I am afraid of someone saying that Issa did not know Chiyoni...
