My Shadow Yet Lives
About this poem
I remember reading Magic Tree House as a kid and there was one book where the kids traveled back to ancient Japan. On their adventure, they met Basho, the famous Japanese poet of the age. I remember reading the Haiku he gifts to the kids in the book, which profoundly unlocked something inside me- I still remember it word for word (and I recommend you Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about). I've seen a few Haikus submitted here, and I wanted to raise my own to see how it does. more »
