Post subject:  Spring haiku

Given the time of year (in our hemisphere), and the time of night here, I found this haiku I just came across rather apposite:

春いまだ碁石にのこる寒さ哉

Spring has come, and yet...
Oh, the cold that lingers still
In the slate and shell

I don't think it's by anybody famous. The author used the name 翠彰. If you want go haiku by a (very) famous poet, Masaoka Shiki wrote a lot, but he was also a go nut anyway. It is reckoned he was about 3 or 4-dan in strength, which was truly something in Meiji times. Here is one example, though it relates to autumn:

碁の音の林にひゞく夜寒かな

Oh, how cold the night
As the sounds of go echo
Into the forest

Daylight savings time
Bringing light and warmth outside:
I'm on KGS

Ah, the Meiji era, back when KGS had stone sounds...
