effective imagery of the flower,

Thanks for bringing up this Multi-Author book! Is this current poem a 5-7-5? It doesn't end with a 7-7 couplet. Will the next one have that couplet to give us the next theme?

Renga starts with a haiku, next, somebody will write a couplet of 7/7 related to the initial haiku. After that someone will write a 5/7/5 related to the 7/7, then a 5/7/5 related to the previous 7/7... Basically each stanza follows the theme of the previous stanza
Renga starts with a #1-- 5/7/5 haiku
Followed by a #1-- 7/7 that relates to #1 haiku
Followed by a #2-- 5/7/5 stanza that relates to #1-- 7/7 couplet
Followed by a 7/7 that relates to #2-- 5/7/5
.....etc....
Thank you very much for your review and questions. I hope you consider adding a chapter or more.

Oh, thanks for the explanation, Gypsy. I'll see who writes next and will try to follow as I see the pattern.
Comment from June Sargent
I really enjoyed this renga and would love to contribute towards the collection, but am not sure how to do it without messing up the book! I did click onto the add chapter button - do I just add my lines to the body without adding art, title, description, etc?

I would love it if you add a chapter. Don't worry about messing up the book. When you add a chapter it's just like the way you usually write your poem. You can add a picture or not, it's your choice. I prefer pictures. It's in your portfolio and you own your reviews...so just like normal posts but it will be part of the book. If you are not happy with the way it turns out you can edit it. So if you decide to add a chapter just check what is the last chapter...if it's a 5/7/5 you write a 7/7, and if it's a 7/7 you write a 5/7/5. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you very much for your review and kind words.

Thank you for identifying Pigeon Plum and Indian Key, plus adding the dramatic picture. I appreciate your invitation, but I am not adding more to my plate until my health stabilizes. Smiles- Joan

Comment from lightink
This book is such a cool project! I'll check it later, too. I appreciate this piece with the seasonal reference, awesome plant I've never heard about before - but what really makes this poem is the symbolical layer of bend but not break! (I can't promis I join but maybe a little later I will...this should be a club ... a long term project.)
