incoming call
on my cell phone
the sound of frogs

That was my previous cell phone A little tribute to Basho, but not available on my i-phone

Beautiful! Basho meets the 21st century. I love the slight ambiguity about what call was missed - the phone or the bird?

ohh, that's nice, Bill - the ringtone and the haiku :-)
the iphone is a great little gadget but still doesn't have it all...

@Strider - cuckoos can usually be heard in our forests in may so the actual reference is a little early. however, in the former country cuckoo calls were broadcast as signals before a full hour on the radio...

what a fascinating insight.

The birdsongs
I have never heard
very faint echo
