I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

 (I found this one really difficult to extend – probably because I regard the original haiku as complete and perfect in itself.)

    You are so good at this. After reading your tan-renga, I feel like the original poem could have never feel complete without your contribution. It's wonderful!

    Nice set of completions. Your first however is in my opinion the best continuation, because of the twist in it.
