I'm a Wanderer - fact Summary

Haiku with Winter Kigo

This short haiku presents a speaker who names himself a wanderer and links that identity to a seasonal image, the first winter rain. As a haiku, it uses a winter kigo to evoke mood and passage without exposition. The line captures Basho's personal ethos: itinerant life and acceptance of transience. The poem functions more as a concise self-portrait than as narrative or argument.
