as spring moon rises,
illuminating her tomb ~
Shah weeps bitterly

Author Notes
The mausoleum Taj Mahal was commissioned by Shah Jahan in 1631 to memorialize the death of his empress Mumtaz Mahal, who had died in childbirth. It was completed in 1648 and is considered a wonder of the modern world.

To continue this book of Renga, the next poem should contain 7/7 syllables to maintain the pattern of a 5/7/5 followed by a 7/7 with a similar theme.
