Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Yesterday we had that beautiful "hokku" by Ryokan Taigu, a classical haiku poet, and today I have another beauty, but this time created by one our CDHK family members.
Today I love to challenge you to create a Tan Renga with a "hokku" by Sara McNulty. Sara is a long term member of our CDHK family and she has managed to create her own specific style of haiku writing. In this haiku that's also true.
Here is the "hokku" by Sara to work with:
taste of nature–
sweet blackberry bushes
sing to child and bees

Yummy black berries, you can find them everywhere in nature. Along the road, in the middle of a city or just on an unexpected place.
This episode is open for your submissions tonight at 7.00 PM (CET) and will remain open until May 21st at noon (CET). Have fun!
Share your completed Tan Renga by adding your two-lined stanza towards it with us all here at our Haiku Kai. Have fun!
