Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge #105 "coming to sea cliffs" by Jane Reichhold


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Sorry .... I am a bit late with this new Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge, but there were circumstances which took my time.

Welcome at a new Tan Renga Challenge in which I challenge you to complete a Tan Renga from a given haiku (or "hokku"). This time I have chosen to challenge you with a Tan Renga starting with a "hokku" by Jane Reichhold, a renown haiku poetess and advisor (co-host) of Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. At our side you can find a link to her homepage and to the exclusive Jane Reichhold library.

Sea cliffs

Here is the "hokku" to inspire you and to complete:

coming to sea cliffs
the off-shore breeze raises
a flower fragrance

I hope this "hokku" inspires you to complete the Tan Renga by adding your second stanza towards it.

This Tan Renga Challenge is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until next Friday July 8th at noon (CET). Have fun!
