Matsuo Basho, the inventor of Haiku, penned the following poem (translation R. H. Blyth):
The old pond
A frog jumps in
The sound of water.
A few hundred years later, the concrete poet dom silvester houédard offered his rendition:
pond
frog
plop
Fifty years after that, The Prize Budget for Boys created a Zen video game celebrating one of the most famous haiku.
Basho's Frogger was produced as a response to derek beaulieu's ((plop)), a manuscript of Basho translations.
