I love the mental leaps... jumping from one lily pad to another with your imagery on the three lines - peaceful - scum - sanctuary.

thanks, Vijay, I have a collection of 175 frogs, but they live in my bedroom mostly and throughout the house somewhat.

This haiku intrigues me Reason. I feel there is much more being expressed below the surface. Excellent imagery. Best wishes for a win!

Below the surface of the pond? Probably more than we want to know, just kidding - thanks so much for the read and reaction, Susan.

thank you, Jan. You never know about these haiku deals; the field is open to likes and dislikes on style and content. It is a form that is evolving constantly.
