Carpe Diem’s Tan Renga – “The Rainy Season”

dancing shadows, rainy season, Tan Renga

On Carpe Diem Tan Renga is to complete the following haiku by Buson with your own two lines of 7-7 syllables each. My first attempt at Tan renga so do treat me ‘gently’ 🙂

Buson’s haiku

the rainy season
a paper lantern in hand
I walk along the verandah

dispel the dancing shadows

as branches sway in the wind

Tan Renga

the rainy season
a paper lantern in hand
I walk along the verandah
dispel the dancing shadows
as branches sway in the wind

Haiku My Heart: Rain Clouds

Ghana, gloom, rain clouds, rainy season

 I’ve been invited to join the  Recuerda Mi Corazon (haiku my heart) team, wonderfully hosted by Rebecca Brooks.

While I have noted that it is summer in other parts of the world, we in Ghana have entered the rainy season and so my first post for Haiku My Heart is based on the season here. Please, enjoy 🙂

rain clouds

rainy clouds gather

sunlight scuttles for shelter

I wear a long gloom
