Basho’s
the old pond
a frog jumps in –
the sound of water
lilies quaver to ripples
I dance to silent rhythms
a frog jumps in –
the sound of water lilies quaver at ripples

I recently read a book titled One Hundred Frogs which consisted solely of different translations of this Haiku into English. Your extension would fit right in.
If you’re interested, my post about it is here: http://biblioglobal.wordpress.com/2013/04/29/more-translation-games-one-hundred-frogs/
Thank you so much, Biblioglobal. Will do so 🙂
