Carpe Diem #1775 Morning Glory! is part of a new feature,
“Carpe Diem’s Transformation,” which has the goal of using the scenes and images
of a given haiku to create a transformed haiku into a tanka.
Another feature of Carpe Diem is to create a Tan Renga, a short exercise that adds two lines to a given haiku to create a tanka. Making a distinction, I have interpreted this new prompt
to be a challenge to first transform a given haiku by re-creating it
before adding two lines to make it a tanka.
The haiku provided (in blue) is by Chiyo-Ni, and my tanka follows.
morning glory!
the well bucket-entangled,
I ask for water
Chiyo-Ni
unexpected gift
morning glory filled with water
refreshing my thirst
accepted as good omen
a fresh start to my travels

Refreshing on multiple levels – quite nice! – encountering this bloom would send a nature-lover traveling in search of more – gorgeous.
