They are sort of my favorite too! Here's a spring time poem for you, Kim.

It has rained enough.

A caterpillar

staggers out.

Oh this is a delicious fragment for a poet to receive!

The old village

newly washed white

as if the moon

This one's sort of bleak! Maybe even Basho has a hard time some mornings?!

Not interested--

there's nothing to write about.

The veil of morning mist.

No pressure or anything! ;) Here's a poem for your morning. (I don't know how to preserve the spacing in a comment...so just imagine the second line indented and the third line set off from the the couplet.)

The lamp is low

stillness

A big rising sun

Some American Sentences:

Up at five but it's not long before I don't need the lamp's help to read.

Cat licks his whiskers, breakfast done; clock's chime fades-- only its ticking now.

More Spring rains forecast, so lilacs take advantage of the morning sunshine.
