Tan Renga: Spring Rain

spring rain:
parting on the beach
a boat and an umbrella (Ozaki Hosai)

raindrops on swollen belly
of umbrella – song of spring

Tan Renga: Two Bubbles

Photo: Taken on the pond at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens years ago

the moment two bubbles
are united, they both vanish,
a lotus blooms

in a flash a lifespan done
the pink lotus flower mourns
