old chihuahua
what can you teach me
about the dew

all I see are moonsets
spread over the morning field

 

 

(Note: This is a tan renga by Kala Ramesh and Billie Dee)

    Thanks, Vidya.
    The top verse which is so beautiful is Billie's, and the bottom one is mine.
    My first attempt at tan-renga.
    All thanks to Billie.

    old chihuahua and the dew… very light touch – karumi! . I love how in my mind, the dew drops become moon sets in the waki. Lovely work Billie and Kala

    I just love this – so evocative and gentle. And ambiguous. (Is chihuahua a wise old dog, or a timeless place?). Well done.
