A nice addition to this Renga collaboration. You have a funny cartoon to match your words.

Suggestion: use 'chirp' (or 'sing'?) instead of 'chant' - methinks only the musical group, Byrds, may 'chant' or 'sing.'

(sugg: put text of prior chapter in notes for context) This is whimsical and cheerful--startling phrase--full of thanks without fury--nice ff alliteration. An uplifting addition to the renga!

Birds Merry No Fury
by ESOSTINE

Hello, Esostine,

Thank you for adding a chapter to my renga book. It's lovely. Good syllable count and connection between lines. Please add my author notes so other writers have the information. Thank you!

Renga is a Japanese collaborative poetry form in which poets write alternating verses of 5-7-5 stanzas and 7-7 couplets which are linked in succession by multiple poets. Only the first 5/7/5 is a haiku; the rest 5/7/5 stanzas are only restricted to syllable count. Renga is older than haiku.

Please, if you would like to add a chapter to this book of renga, read these instructions then copy and paste to your author notes. If you need help, please do not hesitate to contact Gypsy Blue Rose.

Steps to Post a Chapter:

click on the ADD CHAPTER icon, located above the review box.

If the last poem is a 5/7/5 stanza, write a 7/7 couplet, if the last poem is a 7/7 couplet write a 5/7/5 stanza. Write about the SAME THEME of the previous chapter but please don't REPEAT words.

Post your poem as usual but it will be part of the book. A copy will go to your portfolio and you keep your reviews.

(If you would like to read the previous chapters, copy and paste this link to your browser).

Most appropriate as the Thanksgiving celebration is close. I was thinking just this morning that birds are very resilient. They thrive even in the cold unless they migrate. In winter the noise of sparrows taking refuge in hedges is practically deafening. LOL

Correct form for the renga couplet.

Thanks for sharing

Stay safe

Blessings Julia

Animals do not bear grudges or have these human emotions that often set us back in life, birds especially never fail to bring their song.

A suggestion for you for the sake of grammar:

(Gladly they chant, (are) merry)

Love Dolly

I noticed none of these cute birds were wearing masks! I hope they will not be arrested for giving thanks and being merry. Actually, I loved this poem and think the message is a strong one... especially the part about doing so without fury. This is a most interesting form and you have managed it well.
