Borrowing Sleep Haiku

Another Tan Renga, ' Borrowing sleep' is the  Haiku today.The first four lines are

 Borrowing sleep
from the scarecrow's sleeves
midnight frost.

 @Basho (Tr. Jane Relchhold.)

                                                         Borrowing sleep
                                              from the scarecrow's sleeves
                                                       midnight frost.

                                                  compels me to take a stole,
                                                woven in gold, silver and more.

    The monotony of being a scarecrow broken... there are beautiful colours around :)
    I love your addition to the Haiku.
