Haikai Challenge #116 + Haiku My Heart: Cold Moon



the cold moon looks down
on a quiet little town
as the year runs out

Tan Renga Challenge 2019: Day 11: Tan Renga Hineri: Only Tracks


late summer
alone on the beach
with only tracks
leading me to the unknown
who can know where the time goes?

I follow the tracks
to the melancholy sea
sorrow grips my voice
I remember who I was
I remember her lost dreams

Dreams impossible
foolish girl with head in clouds
she not of this world
she visited the seashore once
dreaming she could swim away

Jane & Cie


Note:
The first Hokku (Haiku) in this Tan Renga Hineri was created by Jane Reichhold (1937 - 2016). The other stanzas were created by me.

Tanka Splendor: Sea Shells

Image Copyright D Sisson

Seashells on the shore
I'd like to crawl inside them
Hide myself away
Safe inside where the hard world
Cannot hurt me anymore
