Tan Renga for Jane

At Carpe Diem, in honour of the late Jane Reichhold, we are asked to add two lines to some of her haiku, in 'tan renga' – which I found challenging, because I learn that the idea of tan renga is to associate on one aspect of the haiku, not what it says as a whole. My associations are with  the middle line of each, except the final one where I associate to the last line.

coming in the window

surf sounds                                              © Jane Reichhold

scents of briny ocean

and the shrill calls of gulls                      © Rosemary Nissen-Wade

without lights

the brightness of a blue sky

full of stars                                               © Jane Reichhold

the white swathe of milky way

superimposed like a cloud                        © Rosemary Nissen-Wade

balanced at dawn

a full moon slides into the sea

without ripples                                         © Jane Reichhold

the sun melts upward smoothly

from the opposite horizon                        © Rosemary Nissen-Wade

stars bend down

into the wind of whitecaps

morning light                                           © Jane Reichhold

the stars gradually fade

sky and water brighten                             © Rosemary Nissen-Wade
