Renga is Japanese collaborative poetry in which alternating stanzas, of 5-7-5 stanza and 7-7 couplets are linked in succession by multiple poets. The most famous renga master was Matsuo Basho.
Guest poets check the last stanza in the renga book to know what to write next.
Try not to repeat words from one stanza to the next.
Renga starts with first chapter, Pigeon Plum Flowers a #1-- 5/7/5 haiku.
Followed by a #1-- 7/7 couplet that relates to #1 haiku
Followed by a #2-- 5/7/5 stanza that relates to #1-- 7/7 couplet
Followed by a #2-- 7/7 couplet that relates to #2-- 5/7/5
.....repeated up to 100 stanzas Source: Wikipedia
To contribute to this book, just click on the icon ADD CHAPTER. If you need help, please contact Gypsy Blue Rose. You post your poem as usual but it will be part of the book. you can edit it and add a picture if you like. A copy will go to your portfolio and you keep your reviews.
The language is often pastoral, incorporating words and images associated with seasons, nature, and love. In order for the poem to achieve its trajectory, each poet writes a new stanza that leaps from only the stanza preceding it. This leap advances both the thematic movement as well as maintaining the linking component. Source: Poets.org

Nice little poem and I loved the picture with it. As usual we have to find a whole lot more to say even with these small poems to make fanstory happy. No spags.

Comment from Marjon van Bruggen
A beautiful haiku! I like the way you start with the human sentiment Love and then gradually via ripen go to Nature, placing all in summer and make Love and Nature confront and unified in a palette of colors.
Very well done!

Comment from Bobby Cunningham
This is such a lovely little poem with an exquisite picture accompanying it. It's difficult to write something substantive in a short form, but you did that beautifully.

Comment from Ric Myworld
Yes, all of those things happen, until all hell breaks loose and those once in love start hating the ground the other walks on. I used to think "There is a thin line between love and hate," as a ridiculous saying. Now, I've come to understand the truth in it. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from royowen
This must be a play on words seeing you've written, 'palate' which is the taste in one's mouth, opposed a wooden pallet carrying goods, or an artist's palette, so well done Ulla, blessings, Roy

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello Ulla!
What a delicious offering that tags well onto Helen's couplet commenting on the symbiotic nature between love and nature. Beautiful.
Love the imagery and the peacefulness it conveys.
Thank you for sharing!
