Weekend Tan Renga Meditation: Icicles


Narcissus
in love with his reflection
vainglorious guy
like so many guys I've known
in love with their own image

snowdrops blooming
waving goodbye to Winter
nearly Spring
summer will be here too soon
wave goodbye to what I've known

icicles hanging
at the gutter of the old mansion
sun's reflections
the old place becomes my home
in the middle of nowhere

this cold winter night
laying naked under my quilt
feels like summer
have not felt this way in years
if I ever felt this way

messenger of heaven
circling high above my head -
re-thinking my life
what do you want me to do
why do you want me to do

light of ember
mysterious shadows on the wall -
a cool summer night
here in the home I've run to
long way from the home I knew

Chèvrefeuille & Cie


Note:
The hokku (the Haiku stanza) of each of these Tan Renga were created by Chèvrefeuille. The ageku (the closing stanza) were each created by me.

  2. A very personal continuation - it tells me about you and is very honest.

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
