a weird inbetween season

haiku
without ballast
floats on air

here's another by Basho:

Cold night: the wild duck,
sick, falls from the sky
and sleeps awhile.

It is often complained that American haiku tends to have to much going on -- and yet there is a lot going on in this haiku by Basho.
Don't imitate me;
it's as boring
as the two halves of a melon.

Matsuo Basho
