The Sound of Water: Haiku by Basho, Buson, Issa, and Other Poets
I was given this book for participating in a haiku "challenge" (I was chosen randomly); and not only is the tiny book cute and elegant (Can it be both those things? Yes, I think it can.) with a few soft illustrations scattered throughout, it is a nice sampling of haiku (from my admittedly small knowledge of the genre) from the 15th century through to the 19th century.
I read it straight through, but I think it would be fun to open randomly and mediate on the one you happen to land upon. My favorites were the ones that seemed irreverent, though the one that has stayed with me concerns what the fish sees of the sky in the water below him as he leaps in the air.
