it gives me an idea
for a poem

 

Basho took most of his inspiration from nature. I try to always use nature when writing a haiku, but I use nature in many of my poems, no matter what form they are. How often does nature show up in your poems?

One thought on “Where Basho got his ideas.

  1. Nature has always been an inspiration for me. It doesn’t necessarily show up in my writing all the time, though. It mostly recharges me when I’m outside and makes me want to create.
