A blue screen of death
Vast as a tropical sea…
No haiku today.
I wrote this haiku on 2/19/2011 but, due to aforementioned BSOD, couldn’t post it then…

A haiku-less day
Waiting for inspiration
Like a detoured bus.

When the frog jumped in
Basho’s venerable pond,
Which one made the sound?
My perhaps irreverent response to one of the most famous haiku ever written, the “frog pond” of Basho:
Old pond
A frog jumps in…
The sound of water.
