Written for the Carpe Diem Challenge # 57: write a Tan Renga.
Tan Renga is a two stanza poem with 5-7-5 and 7-7 syllables (5-7-5-7-7). Unlike a Tanka written by one poet, Tan Renga is written by two. Poet One writes the 5-7-5 and Poet Two completes 7-7.
Original Poet: Georgia of Bastet and Sekhmet’s Library

early morning
silence before the rising sun
raindrops on a branch
dewy prisms glint in first light
gently sprinkling ladybugs
