Renku: First 10 verses

New birth open to live now
always wondering
Renewal of earlier
Each year before the next
Happy animals hoping
to start new families and thrive
in these new beginnings
Without planning
spring comes each year.
The winter moon is no longer shining
for the earth is warming
and the planets shift for the seasons.
Love found on the icy glass
of the frozen waters that lie.
Surpassing all the obstacles
unlike the change of the seasons
love continues unaltered.
Filling the world with hope
and wonderment of things to come
Hoping to fulfill the joys imagined
with all the happiness
togetherness will be bringing.
Renewing life also means
Continuing the things, you love.
All in all I enjoyed yours, 🙂

Thank you. I cannot recall whose blog I printed the directions from but it is fun to do these new things. When I was “done” I realized I had only done half.

Yes I believe the are 16 verses, usually done by two poets one starts the the second responds and so on moving the flow in a forward action. You should check out on google the traditional Japanese style.

I did notice that it is supposed to be two people…I just wanted to write it even though I didn’t have anyone to write it with.
