Rain Tan Renga


passing under the leafy willows
of a street of temples
                                      an evening of rain                               (Shirao)


sound of Priests singing to God
                     blends with the hush of raindrops        (Juztamom)





The first haiku is written by Shirao (1735-1792); followed by the second stanza written by me.
Written for Carpe Diem Tan Renga # 10.

Rainy Season - Carpe Diem's Tan Renga #3 "



The rainy season
a paper lantern in hand
I walk along the verandah
(Buson)

Light throws glimpse of a young smile
Covered in mud, soaked in rain
