Fortunately, I've saved my poetry (although there isn't much) plus everything I wrote for my creative writing class in college. <br /><br />TB, I love that! And I always enjoy the haiku you publish on your blog. Thank you for the recommendation. I've heard of Basho, and really should get copies of his work.

If you have never read the Japanese poet Basho, I highly recommend him. He is the author most associated with bringing the art form to its highest level. Penguin has published his works under The Narrow Road to The Deep North and On Love and Barley. The first one is a travelogue with haiku interspersed, the second is all haiku.)Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-28346148651936358542023-04-14T08:18:39.447-04:002023-04-14T08:18:39.447-04:00Nice!
