Mizu No Oto - Every Image Has Its Haiku - Edition #45 (English)

(Edited)

I am pleased to participate in this English edition of the Mizu No Oto - Every Image Has Its Haiku. From the image offered by @marcoriccardi and trying to apply the honkadori (by the way, a resource very used also in the contemporary western poetry), I wrote the exercise that I now share with you. Greetings.

I think perhaps you and I used the same haiku by Matsuo Basho as a starting point.
Yours is a prelude to his I believe. Did you mean to leave the final "d" off?
No splash yet, no sound, no disturbance.

Hello, @owasco. I haven't read your exercise; I'll see it now. Thanks for the indication in the writing; it was a mistake when copying and pasting, because I write in Word before. Greetings.

Your create the mirror, without calling it a mirror. Very subtle and effective. Nice "splash" at the end :)

Very well! You and Owasco did a nice honkadori inspired by the most famous haiku in the world, which in turn was a sort of upside down honkadori of the mystical pond topos found in many ancient Chinese poetry (the contrast was given by the fact that Basho demystized the pond by placing a humble frog in it)

I wanted to "play" with the honkadori in this exercise. In my poetry I usually use that resource, and I have studied it a little in western poetry, condensed in what literary theory has called "intertextuality" or "transtextuality". Perhaps the motivations are different, for obvious reasons. Thank you for your comment. Greetings.
