Today at Carpe Diem Haiku I challenge you to create a renga with Jane Reichhold’s haiku. As you all know you may choose your own “line-up” and try to create a “closed chain” through an association on the “hokku” (starting verse) in the “ageku” (closing verse). You have to add the two lined stanza (approximately 14 syllables) to complete this Renga With Jane Reichhold.
frozen cliffs
swept by lighthouse beams
soft in the dark
silver frost moon gilded
by kindred crystalline stars.
giant waves
sea cliff rocks
summer sea secure
harem of sea lions howl
vying for male’s attention
high tossed mists
warmed in morning sun
above winter cliffs
an eagle tends to her young
safe in an evergreen nest
after the storm
sandstone cliffs relax pebbles
into the beach
sparkling in the sunrise
jewels of the sand
high tide
brings storm waves
to cliff dwellers
salt spray stinging faces
peppering gusty winds
sea spray
the cliff laced
by crystal
fragments glistening
kaleidoscope in the sun.

Pixable
