By Don Baird

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

* * * Kinsaku -- standing beneath the Basho a mantis * * *Kinsaku was Basho's original name. Someone had nicknamed him Basho one day and he eventually changed his name. Basho is a banana style tree that shaded his front porch. So I wrote this as a humble tribute to him. Monk Written March 19th, 2002 © on Mar 18 2002 03:53 PM PST, Don Baird    other
