Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge #91, Basho's boiled rice slop

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

It's Friday again and so it's time for a new Tan Renga Challenge, in which the goal is to write/compose the second stanza of the Tan Renga to continue the scene or complete it. This week I have chosen a haiku by Basho to inspire you for this Tan Renga challenge.

This is what Jane says about this haiku which will be the first stanza ("hokku") of this Tan Renga Challenge:

[...] "1694-summer. Basho uses less than elegant terms to describe both the rice dish and the man's wife. Notice how the sense varies as the second line twists so that there are two meanings. This is what Basho considered "lightness" or karumi." [...]

Let me give it a try to make this Tan Renga complete:

boiled rice slop
his old lady fans the treat
with evening coolness                            (Basho)

together with friends
enjoying a summer night                         (Chèvrefeuille)

Not as strong as I had hoped, but well ... I have tried.

This Tan Renga Challenge is open for your submissions at noon (CET) and will remain open for one week, until next Friday July 3rd at noon (CET). Have fun!
