You can find a number of her haiku here, in English (site last
updated in March, 2003):

http://www.nikkansports.com/madoka/index_e.html

Etsuko san has mentioned Madoka's father as one of her teachers, and
has posted some of Madoka's father's haiku on her yahoo
group, "cherrypoetryclub."

Twenty of Madoka's haiku also appear in Ueda's book, "Far Beyond the
Field: Haiku by Japanese Women."

There are other of her haiku scattered around the internet in book
reviews, newspaper columns, etc.
