I thought a Japanese translation would be helpful! Lol!

I liked this one better than the other three you posted - it had a much deeper meaning.

Perfect syllable counts.

Good job,

Ian,

the translation is not perfect!...It says:

An outline of the earth
It is a road traveled in
In the life I look for our place

but who cares, I was only trying show off anyway!!

There some sideway nines in there aren't there, good spot!!

Lol!

This one is deeper,I think

This one is deeper,I think the idea of haiku is to make a person see it more as a shortform for an aphorism, a deeper meaning than just the words and syllable. It's a specific art that Basho did so very well. Keep working on it. I do on mine occasionally I get the urge :P

Hi Eddie

"The contours of earth
Are the roads traveled in life

Under the awning
of a beautiful sky dome
we seek our abode
