Blog #9 Haiku poems by some several writers (reflections)

What I think about reading a haiku poem, it really got my interest because I am interested in the Japanese culture. However writing haiku poems can be short, even though it ends with 17 syllables. My favorite haiku poem of this course's textbook is "Heat-lightning streak" and "In the old stone pool" by Matsuo Basho. What I find and read his poems I feel almost like it refreshes my mind after reading that poem. Furthermore, the haiku poems are designed for readers to read these poems and cleanse their minds. The "Heat-lighting streak poem got me that far from reading it and the words just opened my mind it says "Heat-lightning streak through darkness pierces the heron's shriek." The quote makes it simple because Matsuo is writing a poem by 17 syllables in order to finish the last sentence. By any chance, I would recommend one of the haiku poems to my friend, because it would be interesting for him to read and write a poem like this one.
