A Poem by Ryokan


In Otogo Forest beneath Mount Kugami
You'll find the tiny hut where I pass my days.
Still no temples or villas for me!
I'd rather live with the fresh breezes and the bright
........moon,
Playing with the village children or making poems.
If you ask about me,
you'll probably say,
"What is that foolish monk doing now?"
