"Frog pond
Frog jumps in
The sound of the water."
Basho 14th c. Japan

Oasis of water
shouded in Eucalypt
one dew-drop suspended
at spear point
one blade of grass
it holds vast spectrums of
light deeper than teardrops.

Keep watching says
the Bluebird
Stay

The old pond
a frog jumps in
the sound of water
