Santōka Every Hour

A tweet from Guillermo Rauch, CEO of vercel: "Congrats to President Trump 🇺🇲 Excited about the impact X, prediction markets, citizen journalism, podcasts, and the open web played in fostering democracy and a free media. It's a new world."

Just learned the CEO of vercel (which hosts this bot) is a bootlicker. This bot will be inactive for a few days while I rewrite it for a different platform.

No apologies for the interruption ♥️

the grass so green
I return barefoot

(Translated by Emiko Miyashita and Paul Watsky)

It's raining in my hometown;
I'm walking barefoot.

(Translated by Takashi Nonin)

even in
my iron begging bowl
hailstones

(Translated by Michael Hoffman)

On the dead
straight road
alone

(Translated by Dennis Keene)

Having come this far I drink water and leave

(Translated by Hiroaki Sato)

Around me all grasses every one blooming

(Translated by Hiroaki Sato)

Soaked with rain and sweat,
Plough-horse gets many a scolding.

(Translated by Takashi Nonin)

The temple's bamboo shoots have become bamboo

(Translated by Hiroaki Sato)

A dragonfly
on my straw hat,
I walk on

(Translated by Alex Fyffe)

Doffing my bamboo-hat,
I'm thoroughly wet.

(Translated by Takashi Nonin)

Something fell on my sedge-hat--
Camellia.

(Translated by Takashi Nonin)

My monk's robe so torn grass seeds

(Translated by Hiroaki Sato)

get drunk
you hear all sorts of voices
winter rain

(Translated by Michael Hoffman)

Just as they are weeds sprout

(Translated by Hiroaki Sato)

the deeper I go
the deeper I go
green mountains

(Translated by Michael Hoffman)

Morn is about to dawn,
Windows just opened--
Fresh young leaves.

(Translated by Takashi Nonin)

further in yet
further in yet
green hills

(Translated by William J. Higginson)

With this body that can die any place spring wind

(Translated by Hiroaki Sato)

Seeds of grasses;
My monkish robe
Is so worn!

(Translated by R. H. Blyth)

The spider spreads his net I affirm myself

(Translated by Hiroaki Sato)

In silence
I put on straw sandals for today.

(Translated by Takashi Nonin)

rain falls and falls
walking barefoot
through my hometown

(Translated by Alex Fyffe)

It having survived I'm scratching my body

(Translated by Hiroaki Sato)

Alone hushed a bamboo shoot grows to become bamboo

(Translated by Hiroaki Sato)

Walking on and on -
my only course.

(Translated by Okami)

In the spring breeze
One begging-bowl is there.

(Translated by Takashi Nonin)

Have come down to the village
With the sound of water.

(Translated by Takashi Nonin)

Camellias fall the water flows

(Translated by Hiroaki Sato)

Slipped, tumbled,
Mountain is quiet and alone.

(Translated by Takashi Nonin)
