Renga number one

Lets just try to get a renga going - here's an old favourite 'ku by Basho. Simply respond by adding a haiku-like verse of your own that has a tentative link with the verse before.

 

The first cold shower;
even the monkey seems to want
a little straw coat

Small piles of monkey shit

Dry grass
and a rusty scythe
lean against the barn door



um. yes. that.

A shallow puddle
by the barn door --
wet hay smell


um. yes. that.

Today's newspaper
Merits not the attention
Of a dumb monkey

Grandfather makes good rope
from expensive soft white silk
to tie monkey's fist

nibbling a straw
        too lazy to go home
        but hungry again

A young roan horse
  chews pungent straw
one hoof kicks up dust
