before the decay
blessed with breathtaking beauty
reclaimed by the earth                        Jazzytower
with mother’s blessings became          
revered gem of society                       Hank's

before the decay
blessed with breathtaking beauty     
reclaimed by the earth                        Jazzytower
not unexpectedly bane                     
of nature’s true attrition                      Hank's
   
before the decay
blessed with breathtaking beauty
reclaimed by the earth                        Jazzytower
when ingrained in lover’s mind          
but reduced to nothingness                 Hank's

Note: To complete a Tan Renga with a 7-7
syllable count to Jazzytower's haiku of 5-7-5


For Chev's CARPE DIEM Tan Renga Challenge #49
