Palace Pond

Leaf 216 – Senryu (or witty, tom-foolery)

 



Another poem about the Alhambra in Granada, Spain (see Leaf 119) – and a thought which struck me while wandering about the gardens when my eye was caught by a very princely-looking frog in one of the ornamental ponds …

 

 

His serene highness

– a frog at home

in the empty palace pond.
