Matsuo Bashō
Bad Haiku
Haiku #38061
red. dry. outback. dust.
waterless. arid. heat.light.
drought and death endless.

dessicated trees,
limbs in agony twisted
like Pompeii dying.

vast empty endless;
time, day, date, year, meaningless;
water gives life sense.

where do i begin?
Where do i end? No matter.
I am, breathe, live, love.

Water is life, love.
Love, like water in life, brings
life to arid dust.

love out and back; give
water to deserted life,
irrigate with love.
