Chiyo-ni is considered one of the foremost women haiku poets of Japan . She studied under two masters, who themselves, apprenticed with the great male poet, Basho, who ironically had set down rules that forebade male haiku poets from befriending female haiku poets. History does have a sense of humour... Today, most Haiku masters are respectfully women !!!

" A Butterfly--
What dream
is making your wings flutter?"
2.
" Butterfly --
you also get mad
some days."

" What the butterfly
wants to say --
only this movement
of its wings."
This is one of four new ATC's commissioned and set to Haiku prose... ENJOY !!!
