mystic purple flames
arise from the spirit’s stalks
chill my autumn heart © Panchali

bringing offerings to the gods
grateful for pointing the way (Chèvrefeuille)

sunflower with golden glow
spreads a hint of warmth

blowing hope
through barren trees
whispers thanks in gusts

Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge

I decided to add a haiku underlining American Thanksgiving.

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol

  Yes, thank you…and I am so amazed at how they are still standing strong despite our first light snowfall.

love your renga … nice continuation:

snow flakes in November wind
melt at the first light of dawn

holly and evergreens
symbols of the season glow –
remembering spring
