Haiku Poem- The Old Pond


Furuike ya

kawazu tobikomu

mizu no oto

-- Basho



Translation

The old pond--

a frog jumps in,

sound of water

translated by Robert Hass
This Haiku is good because it shows wha a haiku really is. It is a Japanese poem and the ranslation shows that it is a traditional haiku.
