    After Basho's famous frog haiku

    after basho's frog haiku
    the garden pond
    speaks more volume

    after basho's frog haiku
    every splash at the pond
    eddies to the centre of my heart

    after basho's frog haiku
    each sight of the amphibian
    the echo of a splash

    Basho who revolutionises the haiku world
    and became an icon after this famous poem:

    old pond
    a frog jumps in
    the sound of water
