Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
First ... my apologies for being this late with publishing our new TRC. I had a very busy evening shift in the hospital.
This month we have our 3rd edition of the TRC-month in which I challenge you to complete a Tan Renga with a given haiku by a classical or non-classical haiku poet. Today I have a nice haiku for you to work with by Seishi.
This haiku I found (again) on the same website as the haiku of yesterday by Patrick Blanche. This haiku is also in a translation by Burch.
Here is the haiku to work with:
grasses wilt:
the braking locomotive
grinds to a halt.
©️ Yamaguchi Seishi, (Tr. Michael R. Burch)

| Steamengine on the railroad at Takanawa (woodblockprint by Ikkei) |
As I read this haiku by Seishi I immediately thought of that nice haiku by Shiki:
smoke whirls
after the passage of a train.
young foliage.

Two beautiful haiku I would say, but the TRC for today is to create a Tan Renga with the haiku by Seishi, but if you also would like to create a Tan Renga with the haiku by Shiki than feel free to do as you like.
This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until September 17th at noon (CEST). I will try to publish our new episode later on. For now ... have fun!
