As directed in the haiku “The Old Pond”, composed by Matsuo Basho;

The old pond,

A frog jumps in-

Splash! The sound of water.

Haiku-1

As a water drop falls,

Melody of ripple rises in pond,

Too loud to be heard.

Haiku-2

A scar from yore,

A thousand sins to redeem,

Still the scar heals.

Haiku-3

Ethereal moonlit night,

A huge wave soars over the sea,

Why still day dreaming?

Haiku-4

Sweet and sour in oranges,

Sour seems good sweet tastes better,

Still both together taste best.

Haiku-5

Stars shine in night’s dark,

Sins are but scars are not flaws,

Still moon shines in dawn.

Why don’t they set me free, So they can see, What I actually meant to be, Flying up high in the sky. All is lost, But I still hope; What-if they set me free, So I can flee, To the wild unseen.
