As you all know Hineri means with a twist, so today’s challenge at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai is to create not only the 2nd (two-lined) stanza, but also the 3rd (three-lined) stanza and 4th (two-lined) stanza through association. For today’s Hineri Tan Renga Challenge I have chosen a haiku by one of our longtime members of our haiku family, Hamish Managua Gunn.
full snow moon
stirs the ladybug

frost dripping in moonlight
she awakens, missing her mate.
Watching the cold sun
rise above the mountain tops
she wishes for Spring
when there were happy times
before loneliness came.
A heartfelt tan renga with a twist, Susan.
