Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Welcome at a new episode of our wonderful Kai were we are exploring the beauty of classical and non-classical kigo for spring. Today I haven't enough time to create a large episode, but I think I can make you all happy with a new "Renga With ... Jane Reichhold" episode.
Today I have chosen a modern kigo taken from her modern saijiki "A Dictionary of Haiku" ... We have to do it every morning, but as I speak for myself ... I do not take breakfast every day. So today I challenge you to create a Renga With Jane Reichhold by adding your two-lined stanza between the haiku of Jane. In her modern saijiki she gives us six examples of haiku with the modern kigo "breakfast" and those six haiku I will give you to create your Renga With Jane.
Here are the six "breakfast"-haiku by Jane. You may choose your own "line-up":
flood waters crest
someone by the river puts water
in a coffee pot
breakfast coffee
the excitement of an ocean
in my cup
threads of smoke
breakfast fires of neighbors
tied together
pale spring sunshine
spread over breakfast toast
quince jelly
beating egg yolks
two yellow butterflies
twist in the fog
early morning rain
the dry sound inside the cabin
of oatmeal cooking

This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until April 24th at noon (CEST). I will try to publish our new episode later on. For now ... have fun!
