An old silent pond...
A frog jumps into the pond,
Splash! Silence again.
Basho

A small hungry child,
Told to grind rice, instead
Gazes at the moon.




The red sun sinks low
beyond a dead tree clutching
an old eagle's nest.
Boncho

Beyond the dark trees
lighting flashes on water,
bright, like a vision.
