BASHO DAY


MATSUO BASHO
b 1644
d 28 November 1694
Haiku poet Edo Period

Basho uete
Mazo nikumo ogi no
Futaha kana/
My new banana tree
First sign of something I loathe
A miscanthus bud

In the midst of the plain
Sings skylark
Free of all things
-BASHO

FREE SKYLARK
COMES TO MY WINGS
TO WARM UP HER WINGS
--F.S.
