IN PRAISE OF APPARENT SIMPLICITY IN POETRY

Having read Matsuo Bashõ
since my mid-teens, I should know
by now that less is often more,
much more, and that explicit
not as effective as what is hinted
at, from the sound of a frog
leaping into a pond to the sound
of the sea heard on its shore
or in the affairs of human beings.
But I often forget it, have
to be reminded of the depth
apparent simplicity can cover,
giving us more in less.
