Japanese Poet:
Inspired by Shiki. Takahama Kyoshi (1874-1959) was determined to become a man of letters.
From about 1913 his interest turned to haiku and he became a prolific poet, writing tens of thousands of poems in the five-seven-five syllable form.
Gyoozui no
Onna ni horeru
Karasu kana
A woman
Taking a bath in a tub
Is coveted by a crow
Note: The above piece is one of my favorites.
