Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge *Basho’s “the old lady cherry”*
This week Carpe Diem Tan Renga inspiration and the first stanza is a not well – known haiku by Matsuo Basho. Our goal is to add the second stanza to it.
the old-lady cherry
in bloom: a remembrance
of her old age (Basho)

childhood memories return (Ese)
Carpe Diem Haiku Special *Jane Reichhold’s ‘Forgotten Brook’*

* * *
ceaseless ripples of thoughts
can’ t step into the same brook twice
-my toes get cold
* * *
