March winds fiercely blew.
Leaves gathered on the doorstep
I don’t need a rake!
Icy water flows,
fallen leaves how you vex me.
Mold in one hour.
Visiting feline
graces our garden each day.
Does your mama know?
Neighborhood tree squirrel
amassing a trove of nuts,
please spare my new lawn.

About the Haiku Master From Wikipedia:
Matsuo Bashō (松尾 芭蕉?, 1644 – November 28, 1694), born Matsuo Kinsaku (松尾 金作?), then Matsuo Chūemon Munafusa (松尾 忠右衛門 宗房?),[1][2] was the most famous poet of the Edo period in Japan. During his lifetime, Bashō was recognized for his works in the collaborative haikai no renga form; today, after centuries of commentary, he is recognized as a master of brief and clear haiku. His poetry is internationally renowned, and within Japan many of his poems are reproduced on monuments and traditional sites.
