HAIBUN!
In attempt of writing a HAIBUN , I explored the original creator of this genre of poetry , Matsuo Basho . He chose to live his life of simplicity as a monk and his work was zen influenced ,
Kudos ,
Matsuo Basho ,
For giving the world the gift of haibun poetry !
He has the greatest collection of HAIBUN poetry , “The Narrow Road to the Deep North”. Through his poetry we experience ,
The changing seasons ,
The smell of the rain ,
The beauty of a waterfall ,
The brightness of the moon
