Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge #3
Our challenge is to add two 7-syllable lines to the following haiku by Buson, one of the four greatest haiku masters next to Basho, Issa and Shiki:
the rainy season
a paper lantern in hand
I walk along the verandah
a paper lantern in hand
I walk along the verandah
My inspired two lines:
wet and shivering from cold
sudden wind snuffs out the light
your lines sound like something that would happen to me!
ReplyDeletelol. I'd be screaming ;-)
Deletethat's an uncomfortable moment

Nicely done Maggie. Without light the cold will be stronger not comfortable I think. Nice completion of the Tan renga.
