You should totally check out who they are. With the talent you dislay in your haikus, I thought you knew who they were. If you start reading their work and emulate them, wow you'll be like a haiku ninja, not that you're not one already. Great job.

Oh, thank YOU so much Mckay! Really though I only just started writing Haiku's two months ago and I have no idea who Basho or Buson are ,, *please don't kill me*  but I'm so happy that you like them so much as to compliment me like this. Really, thank  you!

You're great at writing haikus. Maybe you'll be the next Basho or Buson. I like this one too.
