cold darkness
distant sounds

a woman types
in deep concentration
dreamily

?
hmmmm... is this a renku?

Feedback please. I'm trying out renku...

It's not easy! For me anyway.
thanks

I have never known
differences between
senryu, haiku, renku.
tanka much.
i adore verse
formats, women
ascending
stairs to find
syllables waiting
to embrace!

I found this website yesterday ...

and I fell in love with this guy's work ...

On his bio page, he speaks of renku and I wanted to find out more about it; and try it for myself. I may love it, but I've got a long, long way to go, to get to where he already is.
