"So far in this class," said Shunsui, once class was gathered once more underneath the tree by the pond in the park, with a few little booklets scattered around the circle and a pot of tea ready to be enjoyed, "we've talked a bit about some of Bashō's milestone works, but not too much about his poetry itself. Today, then, we shall change that ♥. Now, the man was incredibly prolific, so one does run into the issue of barely knowing where to start, when picking out poems to look at, so what I've done for us today is compiled a small selection of some more popular or well-known poems, and we'll let you decide which ones you feel are worthy of being discussed ♥.

"Take a moment, get some tea, get comfortable ♥," that, in particular, got a smile out of him, of course, "and take a look through the poems, and when you've decided on one, we'll all have a look and discuss it a little further. Pretty simple, neh ♥? Grab a booklet and some tea and let us begin ♥."
