for his morning tea
a monk sits down in utter silence-
confronted by chrysanthemums

sacred serene ritual
steeped in solitude of peace

This month at Carpe Diem, we have a Tan Renga challenge. A Tan Renga is typically written by two poets. The first three lines are written by one poet, and the last two by another.

pines crack under massive weight

pursuit in mid-air-
tiny swallow for breakfast
young Cooper’s hawk hunts

Author’s Note: On my morning walk with my dog, I watched a Copper’s hawk snag a bird mid-air! It was quite a sight to see.

Gazing into the washed rose pink sky
mottled with wispy clouds drifting by
there on the wavering horizon
a majestic steeple arising
above purple fog crawling
an omen beckoning and calling
Come, rest within hallowed peaceful halls
your prayers answered within these sacred walls.

reaching for the warming sun-
braving winter’s cold
