ReplyDeleteExcellent added lines to Basho's classic ~ can feel the 'spray of water' ~ Happy Weekend and thanks for 'visiting ~ ^_^
ReplyDeleteLovely Grace, you can feel that cooling spray :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, all! So intimidating adding to a master's haiku. Interesting how we all managed to go in a different direction or from a different angle on the splash.
ReplyDeleteWow ... you excelled in this challenge :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amrit! Just pictured what happens when a frog jumps in a pond. :)
DeleteRefreshing, my friend!
ReplyDeleteA delicate water spray to cool the lili ... nice completion Maggie.
