After smashing the skeeter what bit my eye t'other night, them's soothing words. Thanks.

I got a haiku:

If you click the About Issa link on that page, you get a timeline of his life which I had never really checked out before, even though I'm an old time die hard Issa fan. Wow, did he have a tragic life; it's heartbreaking and yet he created such amazingly beautiful things.
