Clouds crash the party
Outside the mountain cabin
Snowflakes sift like sand


This is fun rainy-j


I have done this type of thing before in a Renga group.
Instead of Haiku, you do Tanka.
The first person writes a 5-7-5, Haiku, the next does a 7-7 answering couplet.

Thanks for the fun

Ok, one is 4-7-5 and the last one is 5-7-7.

I admit I don't know 'Haiku' or Senyru' from a suppository, but I'm going with a 5-7-5 and if you want to make something of it, meet me in the parking lot at 6! (If I'm not there, start without me   )

don't let it fool you
it's not always as it seems
take a second look

I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather...not like the passengers screaming in the back of his car.

take a second look
maybe you'll like what you see
better than before

One ladle serves the soup that feeds the mouths of the many.

is always an improvement
over what once was
