Just A Leaping Nonsense

A frog leaps into a pond

There is a splash

Significant enough to found

A poem so small in a flash

Haiku of Basho

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

When it is hot so

Hot you really want to make a dash

Save a notebook that was found

Or make potatoes into a mash

A poem leaps into a pond

    omg it's letting me comment!!!! Did you change a setting, Gillena??

    About your poem, the title sets the tone for a surrealistic mish mash that may or may not make sense. I think the frog knows. Or is it the poem that knows ;)

    I enjoyed your fun take on Basho’s frog, Gillena – ‘a poem so small in a flash’ that ‘leaps into a pond’.

    I enjoyed your riff on Basho and that famous frog leap. And
    "Significant enough to found
