on hidden pond
splash of leaping frog
no one to hear
This haiku is my response to Carpe Diem #1780
The Old Pond by Basho, which is to revise the following classic haiku by Bashō.
old pond
a frog jumps into
the sound of water

Yours is much easier on my ears (I realize, in Basho’s day, it might’ve been otherwise.)

I like the focus of your version, Ken, the sound that no one hears.
