The Tsunami And Basho.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Tsunami And Basho....



the tsunami comes suddenly
taking away everything along the way
houses, cars, boats, men,
women, children
as though it is a thing so mad
so angry without a mind of its own

exactly the opposite of the poem
of Basho

the one that recreates the life of the
pond
extolling the stillness
the quite

and if there be a little tolerable noise
for sure
it is only that classic splash of
the green frog
