Lips Too Chilled by Matsuo Bashō

"Skylark sings all
day, and day
not long enough."

This was the first Little Black Classic that I didn't want to finish. I've read 61 of them and I think this may be the worst. The haikus are simple, childlike, boring and really not my thing. A few had some imagery that delighted by it was too few and far between to have any kind of impact. I suppose a lot can be lost in translation, but even then I can't see some of them being nothing but pretentious drivel.
