a triparshva
free-form renku
new beginnings
pecking the egg
from the inside
mc
muted birdsong
frost on the window
ws
fresh green tea
having trouble
with the plastic wrap
jm
grand opening
master laughs in the garden
mc
late winter bouquet
fermented rice and
a drunken moon
mc
1000 flowers not enough
let's have a parade
jm
keeping in step
the musician's notes
lost to the wind
ws
a winter breeze
pure white seagull
jm
the crow's silhouette
awaiting my muse
winter's end
ws
awakened late by reggaeton
a moon halo
jm
dem bow gotta beat
but she loves it
on the one
ws
in so deep
i leave the mosquito alone
jm
butterfly
a slight draft breaks my
concentration
ws
each bell another season
passing goats
jm
wind chimes
absolutely still
heart beating faster
ws
no books nor compass
only the kindness of wings
jm
always drifting
no place of my own
follow the moon
ws
seeds in the breeze
sprouts in the compost
mc
message
in a bottle
sea turtle eggs
jm
in an instant
stepping into spring
ws
unbidden snow
one final fling
equinox
ws
honeymoon
a honeycomb of white light

Willie-
Couldn't reference that writingpoetry.org/sketchbook/ page ??
Thought of this green tea moment this morning...
my bad...
http://poetrywriting.org
sorry for the delay- car trouble on the highway. should we attach our initials to our posts?
Let's see if if mimi hangs in there.
She added a new post with two two-liners-I added them consecutively
with a little adjustment-I thought the ideas flowed nicely, including a summer moon reference.
What the hell, I'll add initials in there. Let's try to keep the 1, 2, 3 pattern going-we can add notes at the end.
Mimi_chan, do you know how to add to a post via the edit post feature?
cool
Might's well keep on marchin'...
Too much liberty? I changed the parade reference... and then jumped in after you Willie. Please edit, toss or advise as you'd like. I bow to Michele for more verses!
if you haven't noticed, I do it all the time.
Michelle's had ample time with this
while posting at the hotel-I don't know what to say...
We're a couple of contractors; if we were on the job we'd be gettin' it done one way or the other.
Of course, its not like I never missed a day or showed up late.
My favorite excuse-
"The dog ate the alarm clock!"
Let's keep rollin' and she can jump in when she overcomes her difficulties or join us on a new effort.
Just discovered the mnemonic birdsong link! Those are all brilliant haiku. I may use the idea for others...
Okay, you stumped me. What's reggaeton? A rasta reference?
Ah ha! I'll have to expand my horizons, though I'm pretty old school myself.
This is more Michelle's territory.
She played drums and bass with the
Marley family band for a while.
all right!
I seen you comin', mimi_chan!
Hon, to post your renku direct,
hit on edit posts next to new post-
Take her away, Johnny...
Willie
Was the last position short verse (two line)or does it not matter? I'll await Michele, then follow.
The ageku is two lines, yes.
