Carpe Diem Special #145, Shida Yaba's "no strength left"


The following haiku by Shida Yaba he wrote when he heard the news of Basho's death (1694):
chikara na ya hiza o kakaete fuyugomori

no strength left -
I wrap my arms around my knees
in winter solitude

After the death of Basho, Shida Yaba moved to Osaka were he became a haiku master. It is said that he had more than 1000 disciples. He tried to bring Karumi to the haiku poets to honor his own master Basho.

bursting into tears
touched by the spring breeze
first cherry blossom
