hens raise a hoopla

Author Notes
I followed a 7/7 renga chapter

Field mouse breathes sigh of relief
Barn owl shrieks in frustration

RENGA is a unique collaborative Japanese style of poetry in which multiple poets write alternating stanzas. It was created in Japan in the 13th century. Renga requires a good understanding of the form. If you need help do not hesitate to contact me.. for more information about Renga poems click here


HOW TO WRITE A RENGA POEM:

It's very important to LINK your Renga stanza to the previous stanza keeping the same theme and season of the year. to check out the Renga Book click here

FIRST POET - starts with a three-line haiku 5/7/5 that sets the theme and season of the year.

THE SECOND POET writes a 7/7 stanza that links to the previous 5/7/5 chapter with the same theme and season of the year.

This pattern (5/7/5 stanza followed by a 7/7 stanza) continues on and on. Some renga books can be 100 stanzas or more.

To post your chapter, scroll down the renga poem page you are reading. Above the review box click on ADD CHAPTER.
