Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge Month May 23rd: "one step outside" by Tagami Kikusha


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Sorry for this belated episode of our Tan Renga Challenge Month. During the nightshift I can not always publish on time.

Today I have a nice "hokku" for you by a classical haiku poetess, Tagami Kikusha (1753-1826)

one step outside
the temple gate, its Japan --
a tea picker's song

    one step outside
    the temple gate, it's Japan-
    a tea picker's song Tagami Kikusha

    the pot whirling on the wheel
    her hands stained red with the clay Joyce Lorenson

    smell of sake and rice bowl
    the samurai inside wakes up
