In the style of Basho...
the old Pond's
a finger dips in,
smear of mascara

Such a clever poet you are, Diane! It's not often we get to experience haiku humor-- you find so much potential in so few words.
ReplyDeleteI like how Diane's haiku borrows the pond we see in so many classic poems and brings it into the modern with Ponds. Clever!
ReplyDeleteVery funny, Diane. I must admit it took me a minute-kept thinking about the real pond, then, I got it. Clever playing.
ReplyDeleteVery cute. Thanks for sharing this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring my parody today! I am honored. I was also a little concerned that your younger readers might not get the Pond's reference!
