Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge #90, Allen Ginsberg’s “on the porch”
More haiku by Allen Ginsberg:
Looking over my shoulder
my behind was covered
with cherry blossoms.
I didn’t know the names
of the flowers—now
my garden is gone.
I slapped the mosquito
and missed.
What made me do that?

Allen Ginsberg inspired by Basho:
a mosquito
aiming noisily –
the sound of one hand

A frog floating
in the drugstore jar:
summer rain on gray pavements.
On the porch
in my shorts;
auto lights in the rain.
Another year
has past—the world
is no different.
The first thing I looked for
in my old garden was
The Cherry Tree.

Our host’s renga:
on the porch
in my shorts;
auto lights in the rain (Allen Ginsberg)
after a lonely … hot day
lips on mine … together again (Chèvrefeuille)
