For the first Tan Renga our host has given us the first stanza by Basho (the hokku) and the second Tan Renga, our host gives the second stanza of two lines so we can create the first stanza (hokku). See more at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai for instructions as well as visiting other participants’ contributions.
This last exercise awakened my longing for her…

(troiku) a new form of haiku created by Chèvrefeuille at CDHK
remembering
yesterday
when you were here
remembering
scent of Givenchy
caressing me
yesterday
tumbling down the stairs
you kissed the boo-boo
when you were here
I was always
your little girl

(naani)
how I miss your laugh
your soothing voice
telling me not to worry ~ just pray
three Hail Mary’s before I sleep
