Carpe Diem Haiku Kai’s ”Renga Challenge” create a renga with haiku by Basho.
rainy season
sea glow lights held up
by the night watchman
pale koi bubble to surface
paddle junk into harbor
the blue sea
in waves smelling of saké
tonight’s full moon
sitting with friend on the beach
quietly sip from warm cup
on a bare branch
a crow settled down
autumn evening
vermillion koyo fallen
colors faded with sunset

A nice Renga Lynn. I like how you brought together scenes on or by the water.
