Carpe Diem #1547 Renga With ... the big five haiku poets

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

I hope you all will have a wonderful weekend in which you could relax, meditate and contemplate. I had a nice weekend myself and the weather was great. I ran into a gorgeous tree in all its autumn beauty ... and I love toshare that image here with you:

Look at that beauty ... it's a feast for my eyes and I had never seen it. All those different colors on the same tree wow!

Okay back to today's episode. Today I love to challenge you (again) to create a renga together with the "big five", Basho, Chiyo-Ni, Issa, Buson and Shiki. Here are the haiku to use in a line-up of your own choice. You have to add your two lined stanza (approx. 7-7 syllables) to make the renga a story about autumn.

in the papier-maché cat
the morning of autumn

along this road
goes no one
this autumn eve

when I go out of the gate
I also am a traveller
in the autumn evening

autumn's bright moon
however far I walked, still afar off
in an unknown sky

two houses!

autumn rain

with the autumn tempest
the small drum
falls from its shelf

A nice series of haiku I would say. Enjoy this challenge and the opportunity to create a renga with the five renown haiku poets.

This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until November 25th at noon (CET). Have fun!

Create your renga together with the five renoen haiku poets, Basho, Buson, Chiyo-Ni, Issa and Shiki and share it with us all here at our Haiku Kai.
