Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Welcome at the last episode of this wonderful Tan Renga Challenge Month May 2019. It was really a joy to create this month and I am glad to see all your responses. Thank you all for being part in this Tan Renga Challenge.
For this last episode of our TRC month I have chosen a haiku by my master, Matsuo Basho. This haiku is extracted from his renown haibun "The Small Road Into The Deep North", one of the most beautiful pieces of Japanese literature.
Here is the haiku to work with:
lightning flash–
what I thought were faces
are plumes of pampas grass

| Lightning Flash (above Athens, Greece) |
What a spectacular photo this is. It fits the haiku by Basho in a great way and makes it easier to create your 2nd stanza to this Tan Renga I think.
This was the last episode of our Tan Renga Challenge Month and I hope you are inspired to complete the Tan Renga task.
This episode is open for your submissions tonight at 7:00 PM (CEST) and will remain open until June 6th at noon (CEST). I hope to publish our new (and first episode of June 2019) later on. For now ... have fun!
