Haiku is the most common Short poem in the world literature are small poems endowed with much meaning

For they reflect original intuitions in the most vivid way possible

They speak a lot about the sun, the moon, the waves, the mountains, but Mostly they talk about insignificant things of things that normally go unnoticed

When you hear a haiku you have to visualize it

It's not about understanding it, it's just about getting into it

The haiku expresses itself without mind Without interference lets see satori is a form of temporary enlightenment where we can see the true reality of things among many authors Basho stands out

17th century Zen master and poet descended from the samurai lineage

Who narrates us with flashes of light his tireless travels in Japan

In the different seasons in an old pond a frog jumped With the sound of that frog It is said that Basho It was illuminated Under a roof the prostitutes also slept The blooming clover and the moon A little frog Sailing on a banana leaf Staggering Among the grass an unknown flower It blooms white A huge firefly fluttering past Fleas lice The horse peeing near my pillow
