    1. Thank you, Nonnie. It is different. Once I wrote "pond song" it felt complete so I stopped. Hoping it's okay.

    1. Thank you, Wabi! 5-7-2...but felt right. Still don't have true grasp of haiku. Your comment means so much.

  4. Awesome Maggie ... I like this haiku it brought memories to a few haiku by Basho to me. Of course the one I shared already on Carpe Diem, but also his, very well known haiku about 'the old pond'. I think you know that haiku too.

    old pond
    frog jumps in
    sound of water

    (My own translation by the way og this well known haiku by Basho.)

    1. I'm in heaven right now that my haiku reminds you of a Basho haiku! I remember the pond one but only the frog. Thank you so much. Am reading Issa but Basho next.

  5. mine went in a similar direction, only using the sense of taste rather than hearing - I like yours better!

    1. I didn't actually connect our haiku when I read yours but did think later your bullfrog just might be in my pond ;-O
