undisturbed pond -
a muskrat contemplates
making a wake

This is a honkadori of Matsuo Bashō's

An old silent pond...
A frog jumps into the pond,
splash! Silence again.

    What a honkadori! You know...this contest name is the third ku of that specific haiku: mizu no oto (noise of water)

      I couldn't find the haiku in the Japanese, not that I could have read it anyway. Now I am even more happy I chose it.
      Someone else wrote a honkadori of that very haiku as well. I think it was josemalavem.
