Haiku Poems by Basho

Here are some Haiku poems by Basho. I thought these would add to our poetry appreciation. I really love haiku and the form of it. We used to always write those in grammar school and I have a bunch of books of haiku's. Really peaceful little poems.

butterflies flit
in a field of sunlight
that is all

Flower
under harvest sun - stranger
To bird, butterfly.

Searching storehouse eaves,
rapt in plum blossom smells,
the mosquito hums

From all these trees –
in salads, soups, everywhere –
cherry blossoms fall
