Mick Talbot Poet Haiku

The Famous Frog

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the famous frog jumped
in a pond... splashed the water...
washed the lilly pads...

the famous frog jumped
in a pond... splashed the water...
dawn silence... broken

the famous frog jumped
in a pond... splashed the water...
swallows quenched their thirst

the gulls swoop... searching
the Blackpool seaside shoreline...
guard your fish and chips

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
