Dog and insect

.                                            Original Japanese Basho Haiku.   The Creator of Haiku.

.                                                      Insect swoops close

                                                              Jaws snap

 

Original Haiku  was pictographs, not words.  Weatern  Translations use words, and western rules on number of lines   and sylables.  Which Hijacks Basho poetry then completely  transforms the entire form , message, and depth of thought.  Some people may think ' so what '   But  POETS  won't.
