morning glory!
the well bucket-entangled,
I ask for water
rusty pail slips from my hands
listen for the endless bottom
(ok I had to do something fun)
The Tan Renga takes the verse of another (in this case Chiyo-Ni) as inspiration. The poet then adds two lines (7-7) to create a link between the two poets.
Chevrefeuilles Haiku Kai (hosted by Kristjaan Panneman) has prompted another wonderful challenge for spring.
My azaleas bring color and glory to my mornings.

The three lines that begins with morning glory, are so vivid, I feel I can see the entangled bucket. It’s awesome. 🙂
