Old Frog Makes Hash of Haiku


Old frog falls in watery pond,
reviving briefly.

Old frog sits in sad stupor -
finally thinks of word:
Consolation.

Old frog ancient enough
for hazy dimness
to be forgiven.

Old frog swimming
with the young fry -
glub glub.


for Shay's Word List - to write bad poetry -  a fun prompt, and easily managed, lol.
