Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge Month May 30th: "rumbling winter storms" by Paloma


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Welcome at this penultimate episode of Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge Month. Today I have a nice "hokku" written by one of our family members, Paloma. So we have a nice modern "hokku" to "play with".

Here is Paloma's "hokku", she wrote this one in December 2013:


Rumbling winter storm –
Ents are dancing with their wives –
ancient limbs entwined

I hadn't time enough to create a second stanza, but maybe I will come up with something later today.


Ent (figure from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings) by Mazagro-Art

This episode is open for your submissions tonight at 7.00 PM (CET) and will remain open until June 3rd at noon (CET). I will publish our last "hokku" on our Twitter account.

  1. You really chose great haoku this month, to serve as hokku. The mix of classical and colleagues was so well- balanced and generous.
