CD: "The Rainy Season"

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


My inspired two lines:


wet and shivering from cold
sudden wind snuffs out the light

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