Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge #108


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

It is Friday again and that means ... Tan Renga Challenge. I have a nice haiku (hokku) for you and I have used a logo from our archives this time, just for change.

This week I have a nice haiku written by Jane Reichhold to start the Tan Renga with. Here is the first stanza, the hokku, of this Tan Renga Challenge:

It's from her "A Dictionary of Haiku", a Saijiki with all modern kigo (seasonwords). Here at CDHK we have used her work earlier. I am grateful that Jane has granted me her permission to use all of her work here at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. Thank you Jane.

And now it is up to you to complete this Tan Renga.

This Tan Renga Challenge is open for your submissions at noon (CET) and will remain open until next Friday July 29th at noon (CET). Have fun!
