Troiku Challenge #1 "The Old Pond" (Basho)

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

I have another nice Troiku for you. It's based on that famous haiku by Matsuo Basho (1644-1694)

the old pond
frog jumps in
sound of water

This very nice and unique haiku by Basho inspired me to write a Troiku which I love to share here with you all:

the old pond
frog jumps in
sound of water

the old pond -
the scent of the Lotus
overwhelms me

frog jumps in
the sound of rain far away
thunder and lightning

sound of water
dripping from the gutter
after the hurricane

It has become a nice Troiku I think, but maybe you can make a Troiku too with this same haiku by Basho. And that's the goal of this episode of Carpe Diem Troiku World ... create a Troiku from the haiku by Basho

the old pond
frog jumps in
sound of water

© Basho

You can respond on this episode until October14 th at noon (CET). I am looking forward to your responses on this Troiku Challenge.

 

Share your Troiku starting with that famous "frogpond" haiku by Basho with us all.
