Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge Month 2017 #9 leaves float away (Dolores Fegan)


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Last Thursday we had a nice "hokku" to work with written by a classical haiku poet so today I have a "hokku" written by a modern haiku poetess. I think you all will know her, because she is an active participant at CDHK, Dolores Fegan. (At the right side of our Kai you can find her e-book "First Magnolia Bloom", for sure worth to read.

The "hokku" of today is the following, a "magical" haiku of autumn:

autumn evening
like whispered prayers
leaves float away

Isn't it a wonderful "hokku" to work with? Here is my attempt to create a Tan Renga with it through adding my 2nd stanza.

Awesome ...

This episode is open for your submissions tonight at 7.00 PM (CET) and will remain open until May 19th at noon (CET). Have fun!


Share your completed Tan Renga, by adding your second (two-lined) stanza towards it through association on the "hokku" with us all here at our Haiku Kai.
