Frogs On Drugs

[Erthona]

Yes all of that gibberish you spout is true. However a morae is to fast for a frog. although they can be seen as juxtaposed. It of course is devoid of a kigo, or kireji. I tend to lean to the side that this is a pseudo-haiku, instead of being a actually haiku. However some references related to the form and purpose in Haiku might be beneficial. As the "on" or "morae", have little to do with spoken English, and is actual being phased-out in Japan. That's kind of like Allan's idea of a phrase equals to one breath, but that only gives one a deadbeat, and how is that supposed to be quantified.

"old pond . . .
a frog leaps in
water’s sound"
