Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge #19, Garry Gay's "Halloween Night"

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Another week has gone. And I have a new Tan Renga Challenge for you all. This week I have chosen a haiku by Garry Gay, our featured haiku poet, for this Tan Renga Challenge. As the title of this episode already shows ... it's about Halloween. This is the haiku:

Halloween night--
the fisherman
dressed as a scarecrow

A nice haiku I think to start a Tan Renga with. With this haiku came a nice photo (by Garry Gay), a bit spooky maybe, but ... well it's about Halloween.

Halloween (c) Garry Gay

The goal of the Tan Renga Challenge is to write a second stanza to the first stanza (the haiku by Garry) to complete the Tan Renga. You may use the classical syllables count, but it isn't necessary.

Copy and paste the first stanza into your post and include your second stanza.

first stanza (5-7-5):

Halloween night --
the fisherman
dressed as a scarecrow

second stanza (7-7):

??????????????

??????????????

My attempt to complete this Tan Renga:

Halloween night --
the fisherman
dressed as a scarecrow                      (Garry Gay)

tells stories about big fishes
and loss of fellow fishermen                (Chèvrefeuille)

Now it's up to you. Have fun, be inspired and share your completed Tan Renga with us all here at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai.

This Tan Renga episode will stay on 'till October 25th 11.59 AM (CET) and I will start a new Tan Renga on that same day, at least I will try to do that (smiles).

This Tan Renga Challenge is now open for your submissions.
