Traditional haiku for mushroom hunters....

[Mycanid]

Here's my favorite:

I forgot falling off the horse
With the happiness
Of finding mushrooms.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

I forgot falling off the horse
With the happiness
Of finding mushrooms.

Thats an odd one. But I like it.

Here's a lovely one:

My voice
Becomes the wind;
Mushroom-hunting.

My favorite so far.

 

[hafrogman]

Mushroom enters bar
Tender denies him service
"But I'm a fungi!"

 

[Mycanid]

That one is a 19th c. haiku written by Masaoka Shiki (1866-1902).

It's a fave among mycophiles.

An extemporaneous haiku! ... Or ... hmmm ... you holding off on us hafrogman? You a haiku translator?

Hmm, it may not be Japanese. But it's a VERY old joke. Doesn't that count?

Here's one by the famous Basho himself, both in Japanese and an English translation:


matsutake ya
shiranu ko-no-ha no
nebaritsuku

[Matsuo Basho, 1644-1694]

o dear mushroom !
an unknown leaf
is sticking on to you
