Carpe Diem Tan Renga Wednesday (hineri) #15 Cherry Tree in Full Bloom

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Welcome at a new episode of our special feature "Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Wednesday", that nice feature in which I challenge you to complete a Tan Renga from a given haiku. This week I have chosen for a "hineri" episode or an episode of the Tan Renga Wednesday with a twist.

This week I will give you the second stanza, the two-lined one, of the Tan Renga. You have to create the first stanza, the three-lined (hokku), to complete the Tan Renga. For this episode I have created a whole new 2nd stanza to work with:

shadows become longer
cherry tree in full bloom grows
