Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge Month May 25th:

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Yesterday we had a nice "hokku" by Janice, one of our CDHK family members, so today I have chosen for a "hokku" created by a classical haiku poet, Miura Chora (penname: Chora)

Miura Chora (1729 – 1780) was a Japanese poet raised in Ise, in the Mie Prefecture of Shima Province on the island of Honshu, Japan. He traveled throughout the country composing poems and helped lead the Matsuo Bashō revival movement of the eighteenth century.

Here is the "hokku" for todays Tan Renga Challenge:

A nice "hokku" to start this Tan Renga with ...

This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until May 29th at noon (CET). I will publish our next "hokku" on our Twitter Account. Have fun!
