Bear, the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations has a few things from Basho.

Malone, thanks.

With your assistance I've now finished which is good.

On my return to the living room I'll check out Basho in the ODQ - obviously a bard who has not swum into my ken...….

Doing this Xword can be surprisingly educational.

Glad I could help, Bear. Here's one from Basho...

Early autumn -
rice field, ocean,
one green.


H'mm - not my sort of thing!

Quite agree, Malone

I read a few on Wikipedia & they're all a bit like that. But then I always think haikus are for pseudo-intellectuals who can't manage limericks.
