CD: "Autumn Leaves"

Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge #20

Joanne's "Autumn Leaves"





Transform Joanne's haiku into a tan renga by adding two more lines (traditionally seven syllables each). I broke tradition slightly.




autumn leaves
myriad shades red and gold
begin to fall as snow        

(Joanne)


blanketing the brown earth
silently in downy white

    1. My brain doesn't work like other brains. I play Word Battle and 90% of the time, three people have the same word and I have something different. lol.
