the laughing puddle

Leaping
a playful Splish
a joyful Splash

Plunging
deep into the innocent
Puddle of Poetry

some say
she was never seen
Again

Inspiration:
Who says my poems are poems?
They aren’t poems at all.
Only when you understand my poems aren’t poems
can we talk poetry.

~ Ryōkan (1758-1831)
