The most famous haiku in the world is “furu ike ya (5 words)/ kawazu tobikomu (7 words)/ mizu no oto (5 words)” written by Matsuo Basho (1644-1694).

The meaning of the poet in English is “an ancient pond / a frog jumps in / the splash of water”.

It represents tranquility; if you hear an insensible sound, you feel tranquility more than ever.

It is an example of “Wabi-sabi” world.

melon collie, all because

Lassie cantaloupe!

who takes my literature,

so literally

Rock hard poetry,

Appolinaria! Don't

take her for granite.

 

Literally great

literal literature.

Haikudos to you!

 

Infinite beauty,

hatched from the egg of wisdom

with strips of Bacon.

Youre getting too good!

Simple syllablic counting,

is my only goal.

 

But the offerings

of Appolinaria -

poems of the soul

 

Even Phi for All

uses puns and plays on words
