Ergo, the Ogre

A large, sprawling oak tree with thick branches covered in green moss, surrounded by lush greenery in a natural setting.

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai :This haiku (or maybe more a senryu) isn’t really easy to work with, so this will be a “real” challenge to make the Tan Renga complete.

who is it that grieves,

the wind blowing through his beard,

for late autumn?  (c) Matsuo Basho (Tr. R.H.Blyth)

broken heart will break again

over sunshine and happy daisies

    It was a real challenging senryu to work with, but you did great. Very nice continuation.
