A flash of lightning—
old Basho’s pond splits open,
swallowing a frog.

I like your rendition of nature’s frog in your haiku ~ thanks, ^_^

Oh my, not familiar with old Basho, but I can see that frog leaping for safety!
Unable to measure it’s depth, pondering over silence of the pond.
It must have been a mighty split 🙂
Rather like the Red Sea, I suspect! 😉

What a jolt, your haiku!
startling, you bet!
I like your reference to Basho’s famous haiku and the humor in it …
🙂 I’m smiling in spite of the image I have of the poor zapped frog!
I had to have a little fun at the frog’s expense!

Lover the humor here. 🙂
Poor frog… Really funny… Imagining this made me smile….
oh my. stunning. i think even Basho is smitten with you!
Poor swallowed frog! I hope it wasn’t the one that lives in my basement.
Great take on the prompt. Creative and clever !
Oh this is extremely cool! The pond splitting open and swallowing the frog…….wowzers! Loved it.
Wow!
grand image.. 😀
😀 super.
Very nice.
poor frog! Wonderful – K
Oh my. This made me laugh out loud.
Very evocative!
One who dares to play with Basho! The lightning was bound to hit. Reminds me very irreverently of Peter Paul and Mary’s Old woman who swallowed a frog.
You may, of course, be as irreverent as you wish! 😉
