Peaceful gray lagoon at desk
loons dive for late dinner

We let a quiet scene lull us into a calm mood, and only rarely do we observe the natural world closely.

This is lovely, Gypsy. Not only do you evoke the atmosphere of the water as night closes in, hearing the faint splash of the diving birds; but the internal near rhyme, lagoon/ loons and the d alliteration create poetic effect.

Nicely done.

Stay safe and blessed

Julia

It is indeed very quiet there and loon usually stays in the water for a long time.

You need to correct the note for the previous poem which says 7/7 couplet and it is actually a 5-7-5 Haiku.

Well done.

Such a cool picture with all the lines of line focusing on that one clump of trees. It does look peaceful but also dramatic at the same time. I liked the alliterative "loons dive for late dinner." Great addition to the renga book.

I like this contribution to your fabulous renga series Gypsy, great imagery to this Serria's, I've watched loons diving for food, and it's even better, if one can actually see underwater, well done blessings Roy
