day after Valentine’s –
red petals on the floor, and
a broom in the corner

Here come my completions:-)
a familiar scent fading
old love letters on the floor
fashionable sunglasses
hiding damp eyes,broken heart
(Atreyee)

@Zebra Crossing 
I love your second completion!
Thank you Wabi-will come by to read yours tonight:-)
Oh wow so beautiful and touching ! I loved it gorgeous 🙂
Thank you Lala-so kind of you-will try and catch up with reading your posts tonight:-)
Atreyee these completions are both gorgeous, but it was the goal to write a new haiku, but … well freedom of thought heh … 🙂
Eeps!I am mortified! What the heck was I thinking of?And to think that I got so exhausted trying to keep the syllable count to 7-7 that I went to bed after posting it-I guess I love Tan Rengas too much,lol!Thank you Kristjaan for pointing it out and so sorry for the unintended faux pas 😛
Fortunately,there is still time-so I will just pen a new haiku(s) ,if you could kindly remove my old post(link) from your pg-I would be very obliged.Will add the new link as soon as I complete writing:-)Thank you so much once again:-)
I think you’re more of the Tan Renga, but I am looking forward to your haiku.
So true Kristjaan-I definitely love Tan Renga 😛
It’s a wonderful kind of poetry … I especially like the collaborative sphere of it …
I agree:-)
It makes us a haiku-family 🙂
And I love that and miss it when am not able to participate!
Take your time Atreyee … no obligations … as you know
Yes Kristjaan I do but it rankles when your heart wants to but real life takes precedence-but I will be back 😀
I know that … sometimes real life needs you more …
True but tomorrow it will be CD time-that’s a promise-already I am smiling as I bid you GN from India:-)
Love the second one especially. Bit sad though 😦
Thank you DR:-)Yes,it is sad as we had to follow the essence of the haiku given
