A very well-written two-line addition to Roy's 5-7-5 to continue the flow if the Multi-author Renga book. When we are silent we can hear God's wisdom in the breeze shuffling the tree leaves.

This 7-7 seems to be a feast of alliteration. I am glad you posted author notes, since the renga is still fairly new to me. I like the 'w' alliteration and the 's' alliteration, plus it sounds like helpful advice or a true observation.

    I hope you'll join in the fun - if the latest poem inspires you to write a poem, write us one. (575 or 77 depending on the chapter) Appreciate the thoughtful review, Crystie! Hugs!

Dear Helen, this Renga is becoming richer and richer as it makes it's rounds. Soon it will have us standing at the gates of heaven. Where can it go from there except to enter and describe what is found there-in.

Dear Hellen, I just love the musicality of these lines - wind whisper wisdom, and the rest is history, God is feasting with us. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the next chapter.

    Love how you said that "God is feasting with us." How often we don't know that we are "feasting with Him!" Thanks for the lovely words! Hugs!

You did a great job, Helen, with this renga. I like the alliteration of 'w' and 's'. Your message is strong. Just because one cannot see God, we know He is there and always will be there. The idea of His words floating on the wind for us is awesome. Yes, it is possible to believe what one cannot see.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

The poem is lovely and the illustration pairs well. I think you do have a typo. Check out the spelling of whispers. Otherwise, this is very nicely done and a good follow-up to the 575.

    Thanks again! I rarely type write into a post but I thought since it's just two lines...well, that should teach me!
