(hehe... Rengay is really catching on.  here's one that Tamma and I did today.  enjoy!)

continents are one
volcanoes erupt and bleed
lizards rule the earth

     no longer here, true?
     but we've found a peice of them
     will they be back soon?

next the rise of man
from their cold cavern houses
monkeys master flame

     dragged around by hair...
     not my idea of fun
     do we have tools yet?

trinkets, like the wheel
lead us into greater things
feeding intellect

     why am i still being dragged?
     am i still stuck in the past?

Nicely done you two. This rengay stuff is catching on I guess. Great job tamma, I wouldn't have expected you to work on such a wonderful piece with allan, what a wonderful surprise.
Great job guys.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

My library, too.  One of the good things about Rengay is that you can appreciate it without sounding arrogant.  ^_^
Thanks for your praise, everyone!  We're really proud of this, and I'll agree that this was an unlikely collaberation.
It all started when she said "I'm bored."

Tamma, that's funny what you said

Once again, a great colaboration.  It is almost conversational.  It seems that one poet is describing from a non-personal point of view, while the other is describing from the point of view of one of the humans.

This is skillfully done, and woven together.

Interesting observation, Fractal.  I believe that was something that all came with our individual styles, as opposed to what we had planned.
Neither of us expected it to turn out that way, but hey, it only adds to it.
Thanks for looking at that, I might not have noticed it.
