I love basho's poems. He ties it all together to form an amazing haiku every time.
A concise and insightful verse. A beautiful haiku......................................................................................
(Autumn Moonlight by Matsuo Basho.) **A beautiful picture.
no wonder he is recognized as a master of haiku. IOt takes him only nine words and three lines of simple words to recreate a scene in nature
An ethereal scene created through these lovely nine words that unveil the beauty of nature. Just wonderful.
Nice comparison, moonbeam piercing the silent tress and so does the worm.
This one is a favorite... like the space between two breaths.
I love basho's poems because they are so well tied together and amazing to read.
