just one leaf
struggles with the wind
like Basho

Introduction

"Some of you have called me "Master" or "Sensei", I feel honored that you see me as your master, but I am just a humble guy, who happens to love haiku and is (damn) good in writing them. I am grateful for the love and kindness you sprinkle on me and have sprinkled on me during our existence, but I am still that guy who launched a daily haiku meme to promote his love for haiku ... I am just your humble host.

That's what I love to say to you too: "Look around in your world, experience the beauty of nature and be creative in your own way. I am only your "living manual"." .... Chèvrefeuille

I bow my head
in front of Basho's statue
whispering "thank you"

life path
trod by the best of beings
unseen rock
trips but
still walks
