A monk sips morning tea by Matsuo Basho

A monk sips morning tea
by Matsuo Basho

translation by Robert Hass

A monk sips morning tea,
it's quiet,
the chrysanthemum's flowering.


I love the simple beauty of these poems. A link to read more about this poet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsuo_Bashō
