Bravo Emily!

Basho would have been proud of you; he has been a great inspiration to me, a mere westerner still trying to learn the discipline and spiritual essence of haiku. Below is one of my tributes to the great teacher.

I queue for haiku,
Stand in one of three lines to
Read Basho's IQ.

With best wishes,
