Carpe Diem #1613 Tan Renga – grieving provides a haiku
by Matsuo Bashō (tr. R. H. Blyth) (in blue) to be used to create a tanka.
who is it that grieves,
the wind blowing through his beard,
for late autumn?
Bashō
loud crack as swaying branch breaks
felt deep within broken heart

Thank you, Kerfe. I was tempted to find a replacement for “breaks,” but decided this needed the emphasis.

Break for branch to heart–well done, Ken. Basho’s haiku is. . .strange. 🙂
We have a very windy here today–I’m hoping there are not broken branches or broken anything.

Thank you, Merril.
40mph gusts here, yesterday. Our Capitol is wrapped in plastic (over scaffolding) for a two-year renovation. Huge sections were torn off.

Yikes. I hope we don’t get any damage here. They said we can have gusts up to 60 mph. . .
