Kristjaan at Carpe Diem has invited us to create a Tan Renga with the given haiku by Patrick Blanche (translated by Michael R Burch). A Tan Renga is a short chained poem written by two poets. It looks very similar to a Tanka, but a Tanka is written by one poet.

This is beautiful, Xenia. And encourages some quiet thought.
You have also reminded me that we have apples in need of picking leaning happily in the sunshine (when shining) which are way out of reach! Love from here. 🍎😊xxx

Thank you so much for your kind words Penny, I hope you will enjoy those apples soon! Ours are not quite ready yet – the longer we leave them the sweeter they will be 😉🍏 Wishing you a blessed day and much love to you and Tia from all of us here 🙂💖🐕 xxx
