Carpe Diem – Tan Renga

Carpe Diem Challenge is two write a Tan Renga completion to the haiku by Jane Reichhold:


scattered in sand
embers of a saltwood fire
face to face with stars

— and I respond —

the two embracing footprints
disappears in the tide

  1. Romance is in the air … a nice completion of this Tan Renga Bjorn. On the other hand it could be a tragedy of a love without approval … Well … that’s Carpe Diem …

  2. That picture reminds me a lot of Croyde Beach where I lived in the UK and had many such a walk with my wife when we were courting. Thank for re-kindling the memory 😉

  3. We were thinking alike. My mind was thinking footprints washed away as well so am glad I kept what I had. What you wrote is very romantic. I have to learn to write romantic.
