...would you be interested in creating a renga?

A renga is a long collaborative form of haiku. Three poets would get together and write at least 100 lines in about three hours. Each stanza relates to the one before it, but not to the one before that.

I don't really know how this is supposed to work, but here's what I propose. The next author adds one haiku based on the one before. No time limit. No limit to the number of authors who can participate.

I started one in the PPG, and it was really cool the way the haiku all linked together and the renga traveled and changed. I'll kick it off with:

Golden dipped sunlight
drizzled with melted carob
the colors of home

Then, as an example, add ♥ Gunner's ♥ addition (taking off from the image of sunlight):

snow glistens outside
we feel alive in brisk air
old man winter stays

This is a awesome idea! Are we going to use that one as the first one to start off with?

Eeek, Mom was having a hard time translating my thoughts this morning. Edited the darn post three times and it's still gibberish!
big laugh

Okay, the first Haiku was mine, and in the second Gunner took the idea of sunlight from mine and created a brand new haiku. Next interested pup should work from an idea or word in Gunner's Haiku. Does that make more sense? I figured two would be a good example to show how one evolved from the other.

Golden dipped sunlight
drizzled with melted carob
the colors of home

The sun is blooming in now,
Spring is beginning.

Don't care if I get dirty
Oh no I see mom!

I don't see much now
Smell, hear, feel, that's all I need
I will catch the cat
