Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Welcome at this penultimate episode of Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge Month. Today I have a nice "hokku" written by one of our family members, Paloma. So we have a nice modern "hokku" to "play with".
Here is Paloma's "hokku", she wrote this one in December 2013:
Rumbling winter storm –
Ents are dancing with their wives –
ancient limbs entwined

I hadn't time enough to create a second stanza, but maybe I will come up with something later today.

You really chose great haoku this month, to serve as hokku. The mix of classical and colleagues was so well- balanced and generous.
