This haiku, Reflecting, has the proper formatting and sometimes seems to connect similar thoughts through feelings and disregarding time or location.

Yvette,
A lovely and colorful addition to the Renga Book, my friend. A 5-7-5 twist it is and beautifully offered. Perfecto!
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best for the book.

Yvette,

A most striking post. Of course, alliteration is present in this Renga submission, which is something I try to do frequently.

Really interesting artwork and your color scheme just add to your overall presentation.

As we move into the coldest months, sunshine memories are ever present in our thoughts.

Have a good day.

Mark

Yes, our memories are a mixed bag of the good, the bad and sometimes - the downright ugly. But we can choose which ones to indulge ourselves in now and then. Great entry to the book.

Yvette,
This is a well done haiku. It has a good metaphor for memories and how they help us to fight life's problems.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Happy Friday.

    Wow, Dolly!! Thanx so much for those bright stars, my lady -- although it was where the pen went with this, I hope the folks aren't too upset that the Renga definitely took a big turn in the road with it! ;) Take care over there! ;) Yvette

Nothing like a twist to liven up the day. Thanks for sharing . RENGA appears to be becoming quite popular these days. I like the image and wording. Take care and have a most wonderful day.

This is a really attractive presentation with the pink and indigo-purple swirls. I guess we all have times when nostalgia overwhelms our logic. The only suggestion I had was to change 'malestrom' to 'maelstrom' for correct spelling. Although 'malestrom' reminds this reader that males sometimes cause those storms that are difficult to live through.

    Thanx for that spelling catch, my lady -- very appreciated! Typed that one up really fast after work and before climbing the stairs for bed... That's what I get for typing directly into the Fanstory Editor - lol! :-) :-) Take care! ;) Yvette
