Ome Shushiki (1668-1725) was a student of Kikaku, a disciple of Basho, who made her name as a haiku poet at age thirteen, when she wrote a poem about the cherry blossoms at a temple and fastened it to the branch of a tree.
“Dead my old fine hopes
And dry my dreaming but still…
Iris, blue each spring”
