drought in breeze from across plains ~ tan renga

/ Ken Gierke / rivrvlogr


Carpe Diem #1612 Tan Renga – plumegrass asks us
to use a haiku (c. 711) by Ō no Yasumaro (in blue) to create a tanka.

While you decline to cry,
high on the mountainside
a single stalk of plumegrass wilts.
                    Ō no Yasumaro (tr. Michael R. Burch)
