Carpe Diem''s Tan Renga Challenge Month #IV "Becca Givens' River Stones"


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

I hope that our weblog is running ok now and I am busy to catch up. There are a few posts which I had to share already, but during the problems, couldn't post. But first our new Tan Renga Challenge. Today the Tan Renga is started by Becca Givens of Dragonfly Wings with Buttercup Tea and here it is:

river stones
caressed by flowing water
pale moon shines

A wonderful haiku which Becca wrote in response of Garry Gay's first Special last month. It''s up to you to write a second stanza towards it to complete the Tan Renga. That second stanza has to have 7-7 syllables, but you don''t have to use that syllables-count. Just feel free and enjoy writing and making the Tan Renga complete.

River Stones

My attempt:

river stones
caressed by flowing water
pale moon shines
                                       (Becca Givens)

the sound of a waterfall
makes the night more silent
                         (Chèvrefeuille)

I hope you enjoyed reading and composing your second stanza .... I certainly did. This Tan Renga Challenge episode is now open for your submissions.
