Basho Style Haiku

CONFINED 
round and round it goes 
looking for an entrance 
goldfish
 
STUD 
mare on heat 
retired racehorse 
not interested 

JANUARY 
a new beginning 
as cold as it can be 
thick sweaters 

SHOCK 
positive scarlet 
negative chocolate 
electrocution 

LIFE 
troubled living 
in sickness not in health 
worse disease worsened cure
