tempting waves –
the old boat still needs
a little rest
while hungry magpies
feast on its caulking
As this tan-renga was my own haiku, I guess this becomes a tanka. Linked to Carpe Diem

Björn Rudbergs writings 
That boat has experienced a lot of history!
Bjorn, I think that’s the first time I’ve ever felt sorry for a boat. Well written. 🙂 — Susan
I felt that too! So glad you said it. 🙂
… and life goes on, I suppose … in the form of the magpies. Still, that poor boat ….!
Well done.
Oh, if this vessel could speak…
You composed a nice continuation on your own haiku Björn … so yes this makes it a tanka, but … a gorgeous one. Thank you for sharing.
ah you know…that caused some fernweh in me… the old boat…i hope it starts out again… i can hear the waves calling
An interesting tanka .. I always enjoy reading how the author of the renga haiku writer finishes the set … an interesting image!
