Quite a challenge to rewrite the masterpiece by Basho:
old pond
a frog jumps into
the sound of water
My take after reading Kristsjaan‘s article
by the lake
hermit and the frog
are companions

Something about jumping into sound that makes the original resonate. I think I could hear that one a thousand times.
Bravo Bjorn … I am so proud that you’ve given it a try to revise the masterpiece of Basho … very well done. I think the sounds of the original are resonating in this one written by you.
Well penned, Bjorn 🙂
