ZEN* on the pond with Buddha frog*

ZEN* on the pond with Buddha frog*

It is a humid evening and the moon is out tonight

I hear a croak on the pond, something brewing in sight

For it is a bullfrog that sits like Buddha on a lily pad

Some fireflies dance in front of it, for it knows what it has

Mesmerizing in its meditation right before its nose

Lashing out its tongue to capture its meal and that is the way it goes
