One of my favorite dew haiku, by Boosha:

kongoo-no* tsuyu hitotsubu ya ishi no-ue

Like a diamond
a drop of dew, all alone
on a stone.

tr. Ueda


just one drop of dew
situated on a rock --
indestructible.

tr. Nakamura Yutaka

*kongoo-no: a mythical metal so hard nothing can cut or break it.
kongoo-seki: diamond (seki: stone)

Other Boosha dew haiku:

Tsuyu no tama hashirite nokosu kotsubu kana

Beads of dew run about,
One tiny drop
Remains behind.

tr. Blyth


Tsuyu no tama ari taji-taji to nari ni keri

A ball of dew;
The ant
was aghast at it.

tr. Blyth


A dew haiku by Shiki, which Blyth says is almost a senryu:

Isshoo no tsuyu wo tatauru saniwa kana

A small garden
Brimming with dew,--
Half a gallon of it.

tr. Blyth


Two versions of a dew haiku by Issa:

Blyth:

Hasu no ha ni kono yo no tsuyu wa magarikeri

On the lotus leaf,
The dew of this world
Is distorted.

Lanoue:

hasu no ha ni kono yo no tsuyu wa ibitsu nari

on lotus leaves
this world's dewdrops
are warped


And finally one by me, first posted on Museki Abe's photo-haiku
website:

this body of mine
on its way to the next world...
dew on a petal

--Larry
