in hidden places
under the porch floorboards-
cherry blossoms (Managua Gunn)
wrinkled hand shivers slightly
as she pours a cup of tea (Björn)

very engaging. I love the artwork too.
A lovely direction you’ve taken this Bjorn. Why does she shiver? Is it the age, or the content of the tea? My mind wanders 🙂
love’s river flowing
Quality time together for old folks, slow and sedentary! Nicely Bjorn!

You REALLY know your haiku, and renga Bjorn! The contrast is sublime between the fresh blossoms and woman.
I like the image you depict
cherry blossoms forever…..
Very nice imagery … lovely painting and a nice completion of the Tan Renga started by Managua
quite evocative, those last couple lines there….aging touches me…
Wonderful.. shivers slightly is such a clear image, speaks volumes.
nice! i felt the delicate nature both in the cherry blossoms and the fragile couple
Ow!
