BASHO's FROG

The old pond,


A frog jumps in:

Plop!

 
 
Basho's famous Haiku - there are many translations. For the Philosophic Toad in us all!

  2. Beautiful PT! having looked up haiku on wiki they need a seasonal element and a verb and in a 5,7,5 syllable stack, although it's not strictly about syllables, maybe more sounds. You got the lot there PT! Swordaiku!
