!! Open for your submissions next Sunday March 3rd at 7:00 PM (CET) !!
Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Welcome at the first weekend meditation of March and also of Spring that's why I have created a new logo for our weekend meditation. For this first weekend meditation I have chosen an episode of our special feature "Renga With ..." And this weekend I love to honor Jane Reichhold (again) by challenging you to create a Renga with Jane Reichhold.
As you all know creating a Renga With ... gives you six (6) haiku and you have to add the six (6) two lined stanza between them. Ofcourse you can choose your own "line-up" and you have to try to create a closed chain of twelve (12) stanza. Try to let your "closing verse" (ageku) and the "starting verse" (hokku) be in a kind of symbiosis.
For this Renga With Jane Reichhold I have chosen six (6) haiku from her online Saijiki "A Dictionary of Haiku". Here are the haiku to work with:
beach diamonds
a new day crystallized
in sunny surf foam
white pussy willows
above a muddy swollen river
fat raindrops
light carried in my arms
apple blossoms from a neighbor
on my doorstep

| Tai Chi On The Beach |
Tai Chi on the beach
one gull watches
with outstretched wing
between the fields
a break in the evening mist
three lilac bushes
shades of art deco
lying on the beach
abalone shells

I think this series of haiku is really gorgeous and I think it will give you all satisfaction to work with them and honoring Jane. Take your chance to create a renga together with the best haiku poetess of modern times. Have fun!
This weekend meditation is open for your submissions next Sunday March 3rd at 7:00 PM (CET) and will remain open until March 10th at noon (CET). I will try to publish our new (regular) episode around that same time too. For now ... have an awesome weekend.
Share your renga with Jane Reichhold with us all here at our Haiku Kai.
