Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Another week has gone by and so it's time for a new Tan Renga Challenge. This week's Tan Renga Challenge is started with a haiku by Joanne of 4Joy. She wrote it in response on Garry Gay's 4th Special and it's a stunning haiku. The goal is to write the second stanza (7-7) to this Tan Renga started by Joanne. You don't have to stay to the classic rules of haiku writing, but feel free to do so.
Stanza 1 (5-7-5):
autumn
leaves
myriad shades red and gold
begin to fall as snow (Joanne)
myriad shades red and gold
begin to fall as snow (Joanne)
Stanza 2 (7-7):
???????????????????
???????????????????
A wonderful haiku to start this Tan Renga with ... so I hope that it will inspire you to complete this Tan Renga with your second stanza. Good luck ... and have fun ...
My attempt:
autumn
leaves
myriad shades red and gold
begin to fall as snow (Joanne)
myriad shades red and gold
begin to fall as snow (Joanne)
at the feet of the snowman
a glimpse of the first crocus (Chèvrefeuille, your host)
