palette of colors
chrysanthemums bestowing
fragrance everywhere
.
watered with the dripping tears
fragile porcelain vase breaks
~
palette of colors
chrysanthemums bestowing
fragrance everywhere
.
deafening silence of night
a single flower befalls
.
* For Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Tan Renga Challenge # 17. The haiku “palette of colors” is written by Atreyee; complimenting it are the two verses written by me. I have completed the renga twice.
at sunrise-
no words between lovers
just a kiss
~
hands clasped in a lifetime bond
glowing in the morning sun
.
* This beautiful haiku is written by Wabi Sabi; complimenting it are my two seven-syllable lines, completing the renga.
** For Carpe Diem Tan Renga # 13.
passing under the leafy willows
of a street of temples
an evening of rain
~
tiny drops tingle bare skin
child runs around in circles
* For Carpe Diem Tan Renga # 10. The haiku is written by Shirao (1735-1792); complimenting it are my two verses of seven syllables each.
