Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge #46, Jamie Wieland's "the glow of the dawn"


Dear Haijin, vísitors and travelers,


A new Tan Renga Challenge is here ... It's my pleasure to create a new Tan Renga Challenge for you. This week the first stanza, a haiku, is composed by Jamie Weiland of "Tea, Poems and Pictures" She is one of our new family-members and she has shared already wonderful haiku with us all.

As you know the goal of this Challenge is to complete or continue the given first stanza of the Tan Renga by writing a two line stanza (7-7 syllables) towards the first stanza by association on a part of the first stanza. This is our 46th Tan Renga Challenge and i am looking forward to, as will Jamie, how your continuation or completion will look. So let us look at the first stanza.



as a white dove lands
words unspoken yet knowing-
the glow of the dawn

I think it's a gorgeous one. And it will certainly inspire you to complete it with a second stanza.

The haiku by Jamie inspired me to write the next stanza to this Tan Renga ...

as a white dove lands
words unspoken yet knowing-
the glow of the dawn
                                   (Jamie)


starting a life together
newly weds ... exchanging their vows            (Chèvrefeuille)

Not as strong as I had hoped, but it fits the scene which I loved to share. A wedding ceremony ....

This Tan Renga Challenge is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until next Friday August 15th at noon (CET).
