Bamboo Hut – A Viceroy

a viceroy
seeking a summer flower
how soft
the memory of his hand
barely touching my hair

Tan Renga – Carpe Diem

Today, I am delighted to participate in the prompt at Carpe Diem for a very personal reason. Kris is featuring my poem, which I posted a few weeks ago. The original post is here : Many Conversations A Haibun/Haiga

The challenge is to add two lines to another poet’s haiku to complete the tan renga.  The added lines can and should echo something in the poem but can shift the meaning in any direction the second poet desires.

        at sunrise

        no words between lovers

        just a kiss

                                                                       a butterfly warming

                                                                       to every blossom
