OK this is very free form and collective poetry.

Please add a verse.

Keep to the developing theme and be poetic.

(It's not meant to be a discussion thread.. Sorry :o)

No one should post more than 4 lines per post. (2 or 3 lines are OK as long as they fit.)

Please let at least one other person post prior to adding another verse.

The poem ends around post 34 so whoever posts then needs to try and close the poem gently or with a poetic splash.

If we reach post 35+ then someone else can announce and start a new Renga.

No doubt there will be several branches. We simply try and renew after 34+ posts.

Snip everything except the verses that you are responding to or just add your verse without any quotes.


It's a Renga of sorts:


The start verse is in the next post...

Of days and dreams
cream cakes and smiles
she milky faced turned
and looked at me

and looked at me

In love i feel
lost days and nights
she banished away
and set me free

In love i feel

and set me free


of cast, the dream
lingers sanguine
as in sights unfurled
or at least, it so may seem

(What do you reckon to making the full Renga less than 34 verses. Maybe 1/3 or 12 verses or posts then we change the theme??)

The morning waits
Like virgin snow
The day betrays
Everywhere you go
Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.
