Carpe Diem ~ Tan Renga Challenge Month #VI

the eucalyptus
captures the iridescence
in the morning fog

my eyes besieged with rapture
at the glorious wonder

Hi Nonnie. I never heard of "Tanka" and love the idea of seven syllables. Awesome. Thanks.

Welcome Nonnie at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, very nice to see you visiting Carpe Diem. I love the way how you have completed this Tan Renga (a poem by two poets) You mentioned it a Tanka, Tanka has the same structure but is written by one poet instead of two.
By the way: I am your host at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. Feel free to visit us again

That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o
