Carpe Diem Tan Renga is to write a 77 completion to a haiku by Southard
Just the cellarpit;
only the catbird recalls
the swing of the gate
I read quite some sadness into this, and my completed tanka is below.
Just the cellarpit;
only the catbird recalls
the swing of the gate
desolation left behind
she left a withered garden

Very nice completion of the haiku. I like the direction you took it!
like the solemn feel you give your renga
the catbird alone knows the garden of the past
Ah,that is sad..but lovely too.

i feel the echo of sadness here. enjoyed your offering.
