Description: Matsuo Bashō: Cold night: the wild duck, sick, falls from the sky and sleeps awhile. Analysis: This haiku captures a poignant moment in nature, depicting a wild duck's vulnerability on a cold night. The simplicity of the language and the brevity of the form convey a powerful image of the duck's plight, evoking both empathy and a sense of the harsh realities of the natural world. The poem's focus on a single moment in time is characteristic of haiku poetry, and the stark imagery is reminiscent of Basho's other works, such as his famous "Frog Pond" haiku. The poem also reflects the influence of Zen Buddhism, which emphasizes the beauty and impermanence of all things.

Description: A parody i made of "the great wave off kanagawa", i recently got the urge to make designs/artworks inspired by famous songs and song lyrics, and to give me an ever higher incentive, the week i started this artwork the inktober 52 theme was "wave" so it was a no brainer what i was going to draw, i added the little cat on a DIY raft as a joke about the "drifting away" part of the song, also part of the lyrics of the song "waves" is written on the waves too.
