Haiku by Basho Matsuo. (from"Narrow Road to Oku")
The last part "the eyes of fish fill with tears" is an interesting expression; it is almost sur-realistic.
This tells that "sketch" approach advocated by Shiki and later by Kyoshi, is not only way to write haiku.

The near surrealism of Basho matched as fish and bird share an indeterminate home.
Stunning!
