The Tan Renga Challenge for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai on September 26th, featured my Haiku, “Red Leaf Falls”. I have shared with you the results from the Carpe Diem Community of Poets (here). By adding the 7-7 lines to my own Haiku – I could not add it to the Tan Renga Challenge (it takes 2 poets); my addition of 7-7, turns the piece into a Tanka.
~~~~~~~~~~~
My completion turns it from
Haiku to Tanka
Nature sleeps
Carpet of silent snow
Red leaf falls
Lone wolf howls – waits for echo
No one hears the redwood plunge

Oh, this is wonderful. I like it better than the others, though they were good, too. It’s so enjoyable to see these verses drifting down like leaves.

THANK YOU — I am guessing some of it has to do with my knowing the deeper level of meaning to the Haiku — and then continuing from there. I came up with it as I was “sleep driving” from Central TX to South LA last Friday!
I had not considered turning it into a Tanka until I was honored to have it selected for a Tan Renga. It was interesting to read others interpretations. 😀
