Tan Renga Wednesday (5) White Crane Today's challenge from our host at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai is to use the following: "The haiku I (Chèvrefeuille our host) have chosen written by Kikaku is one of his most beautiful haiku in my opinion. He wrote it to comfort Basho in his last days of his life:" how I wish to call a white crane from Fukei, but for this cold rain. © Kikaku yet here is one white quill write away death's dark hold © petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for his consistent faith in us poets.
