Thank you for adding your 5-7-5 to the Renga book. It describes the picture and follows Ulla's couplet well. It certainly evoked the sensation of cold. Cheers- Joan

Blue (in all its shades) is my favourite colour, so I was bound to be drawn to this one. Indeed, I find it:
deep like the water
austere like the mountains
protected by the sky

Well done.

This is a great follow up - the blue tones do make my nose cold and my toes shiver - icy cold water. Time for some hot chocolate...maybe that will be my follow up!

This definitely sends a shiver down a person's spine. Ice cold blue water, such atmosphere, and clarity.

This is a fine addition to your Renga book that is coming along beautifully. :)

You have responded really well to the previous chapter with this posting, Gypsy. I love the moon theme for poems and this is an excellent one. It is a calm photograph with a seasonal message.

Gypsy,

I am pleasantly chilled by your icy blue image for your Renga addition. Your selected artwork nicely complements your few words in your Haiku. With limited filters, I was never able to recreate that image when I previously used an SLR camera - it is a fascinating image you share with us.

    I don't understand this...."never able to recreate that image when I previously used an SLR camera -" ???

Such beautiful imagery! With your second line of "basin wreathed by blue mountains," makes me think of the moon looking into wash her face in the "icy cold water." Lovely!

This is an excellent follow-up to Ulla's couplet. The illustration is cold but lovely and pairs perfectly with your words. As with all your work, it is nicely done.
