'' An old pond / A frog jumps in - / Splash! '' it is not ''splash'' (Basho was a fine poet.. how could he say just 'splash'? ?) .. but ''sound of water'': '' furuike ya / kawazu tobikomu / mizu no oto '' '' The old pond - / a frog jumps in / sound of water ''

...........great composition...a nice collection of haikus ★
