Slightly Tips Poem by Santoka Taneda

The correct text: Horohoro yōte ko no ha furu '' slightly tipsy; / the leaves fall / one by one ''

Santōka's poems, and haiku in general, were written in one line with the reader supplying the pauses. Although Santōka's haiku were written in an extremely free style with regard to the 5-7-5-syllable pattern, many seem to fall into a two-line pattern..
