Little drops of nature. I really liked Basho's poetry. You might think that haiku writers are just lazy guys that could write a whole book with 50 little poems. But not everybody can say that much in just three lines. There's a 5-7-5 syllable structure to play with, and you have to be able to capture nature's astonishing moments in a couple of words.

It was a nice read.
