Cool.  If you liked those, here are a few more.  Ikkyu's
most famous (or possibly infamous) poem is at the end.

Unc

**********************************

Many paths lead from
The foot of the mountain
But at the peak
We all gaze at the 
Single bright moon

**********************************

Ten days 
In the monastery
Made me restless.
The red thread
On my feet
Is long and unbroken.
If one day you come
Looking for me,
Ask for me 
At the fishmonger's,
In the tavern,
Or in the brothel.

**********************************

If you break open the cherry tree,
Where are the flowers?
But in the spring time, see how they bloom!

**********************************

Rain and hail, snow and ice
Are divided from one another;
But after they fall, 
They are the same water
Of the stream in the valley.

**********************************

To write something and leave it behind us,
It is but a dream.
When we awaken we know
There is not even anyone to read it.

**********************************

pleasure pain 
are equal in a clear heart
no mountain hides the moon

**********************************

A Woman's Sex:
It has the original mouth but remains wordless;
It is surrounded by a magnificent mound of hair.
Sentient beings can get completely lost in it
But it is also the birthplace of all the Buddhas of the ten thousand 
worlds.
