The Narrow Road to the Interior - Matsuo Bashō
Starwolven1: As the Haru Sumo Basho is in its final 3 days, I turn my thoughts to Matsuo Bashō, The Haiku master.
He was major inspiration for me as a poet: He focused on Karumi, or "lightness": pretension and elaboration is abhorrent; poetry should be understood by children.
jyushimatsu14_: (After Matsuo Basho's "Autumn deepens, and the mountain’s solitude is profound, the chrysanthemums’ fragrance intensifies.").
SpiritOfACrow: Sitting quietly, doing nothing, Spring comes, and the grass grows, by itself.

QuwwatTakhayyul: This is why the poet and monk Matsuo Bashō (1644–94) said:
“For the enjoyment of the cherry blossoms, you must approach them with a vacant mind, free from business worries or domestic cares.”
QuwwatTakhayyul: “How many, many things
they call to mind
these cherry blossoms!
Very brief—
gleam of blossoms in the treetops
on a moonlit night.
A lovely spring night
suddenly vanished while we
viewed cherry blossoms.”
—Matsuo Bashō (1644–94)

Roposhipin: I have been reading Matsuo Basho's poetry lately.
I am enjoying it so far. I feel a sense of 'I relate to that' now and then, despite it being his travel sketches and haikus hahaha
That, and feeling as if 'finding joy and peace in the most mundane and simple'.
It's nice! :>

IndraRajPathak1: A Haibun Poem is the combination of two poems: a prose poem and haiku. The form was popularized by the 17th-century Japanese poet Matsuo Basho. Both the prose poem and haiku typically communicate with each other, though poets employ different strategies for this communication.
