When composing a verse let there not be a hair's breath separating your mind from what you write; composition of a poem must be done in an instant, like a woodcutter felling a huge tree or a swordsman leaping at a dangerous enemy.

Mountain-rose petals Falling, falling, falling now... Waterfall music

Nothing in the cry of cicadas suggests they are about to die

Come, butterfly It's late- We've miles to go together.

Just washed, How chill The white leeks!

Learn the rules, and then forget them.

The basis of art is change in the universe.
