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
