My Internet is down, but poem I must, so this will be short, sweet since I am composing on my phone. Today's is a little ditty by the Japanese poet, Basho (no link tonight, sorry Google him. He's a great poet. Worth your time. )
It goes:
A frog jumped into water -
A deep resonance.
Good, no? Short, but conveys a perfectly imagined and perfectly felt scene. Even though they aren't mentioned you can just picture the rippled rings extending.
It almost make a haiku seem wordy. Haha.
Favorite line: "A deep resonance"
