My response to Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge Month 2017 #13 bamboo (Jane Reichhold)
Today we have another Western ‘hokku’, this time from Jane Reichhold’s Dictionary of Haiku. All we have to do is add two further lines to complete the tan renga.
Magical image…

Thanks Kristjaan! I love the sound of bamboo – as wind instrument and percussion. I have hears of temples in bamboo forests and thought about what it must sound like.
