Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge Month #XXVI, Opie Houston's ''O sweet October''

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Today a new challenge for this Tan Renga Month. Today I love to share another haiku as starting verse for our Tan Renga inspired on Frost's October (Carpe Diem's Distillation). Today our Tan Renga is started by Opie Houston and is called ''O, Sweet October''. Opie shares his/her haiku on Facebook and he/she writes a lot ...

This is the haiku for starting the Tan Renga:

oh, sweet october...
spare thy frost on yonder grapes
our sweet summer wine

(c) Opie Houston

October Grapes

What a nice haiku to start this Tan Renga with ... and the above photo is going so well along with it ... I am not a drinker of wine, but I can appreciate sometimes a good wine ...

Here is my attempt to complete this Tan Renga:

oh, sweet october...
spare thy frost on yonder grapes
our sweet summer wine                                         (Opie Houston)

on the verandah with friends
playing cards and drinking wine                              (Chèvrefeuille)

Playing Cards

And now it's up to you my dear friends. This episode of Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge Month is open for your submissions today at 7.00 PM (CET) and will stay on until November 28th 11.59 AM (CET). Have fun, be inspired and share.
