The old pond
A frog jumps in
Plop!
Matsuo Basho (1644-1694)
Translated by Allan Watts
The Old Pond may be the most famous of all haiku
The haiku is a Japanese poetic form that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. The haiku developed from the hokku, the opening three lines of a longer poem known as a tanka. The haiku became a separate form of poetry in the 17th century.
