ancient warrior ghosts
mists over the foreign highlands—
waiting for the full moon
[Chèvrefeuille]
the ships of the dead sail in
ghost prisoners for judgement

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai #1337-Tan Renga Challenge
A Tan Renga is a short chained poem written by two poets. The first poet gives the “hokku” or “starting verse” and the second adds a second stanza of two lines through associating on the images in the “hokku”. A Tan Renga looks similar with the Tanka (5-lined poem), but is written by two poets instead of one poet.

Superb visual to go with the verse. A pirate element to your finish, keeping to theme and mood nicely..
