Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge #111 Autumn Heat

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Last week I re-started our weekly Tan Renga Challenge (TRC) on Wednesdays, but this week's TRC I couldn't make on time through lack of time, but here it is a new TRC for you:

This week I have a nice haiku written by Taneda Santoka (1882-1940) to work with. Santoka Taneda was a haiku poet who choose to free-style with haiku. What does that mean? He didn't follow the classical onji (5-7-5) or for example didn't use kigo (seasonwords). A style of haiku-ing I love too.

Begging Bowl

The goal of this TRC is to create the second stanza (of two-lines with approximately 14 words) through association on images and scenes in the given haiku. Here is the "hokku" to work with:

autumn heat --
my begging bowl
is full of rice

This episode of our TRC is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until August 30th 10:00 PM (CEST). Have fun!
