karaoke

We've been playing Karaoke Revolution as a family for the past week or so and it's reminded me of one of my favorite haiku by a Japanese master, Issa. This a translation by Robert Hass. This and more of Issa's poetry can be found at: http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/g_l/haas/haiku.htm


Even with insects,
some can sing,
some can't.

~Issa
