kagebо̄shi ware ni tonari shi kawazu kana

This is another Issa poem, and is a great example of how he sees himself (literally himself, his shadow!) with the animals. 

This is not the easiest to translate in a way that imitates the Japanese. It's hard to get the frog into the last line in English the way the frog just "hops" in there at the end.

shadows:
there's mine, and next to me...
shadow frog.
