Carpe Diem #1599 Tan Renga – garden at sunrise asks us to complete a given haiku to create a tanka. The haiku provided by Kristjaan for this challenge is one written by me
(in blue) for a previous challenge. (making this a solo renga)
garden at sunrise
shadows erased by first rays
sunflowers turning
Ken Gierke
cock crowing from fence post
eager to welcome new day

Thanks, Kerfe. I wanted something that is a sort of tangent, almost as if the sunflowers (and rooster) are incidental to the overall scene.
