Today's poem is a haiku by Matsuo Basho, a famous Japanese poet from the 1600s. For National Poetry Month, try writing your own haiku. Typically, a haiku written in English would have three lines with 5/7/5 syllables. Haiku poetry tends to pull from images of nature. If you're feeling especially ambitious, try adding the "cut," or juxtaposition of two images.
Haiku
by Basho
Spring air
— woven moon
and plum scent.
Read, listen, share, create, and be on watch.
