Thanks so much to JK, Wendy, cloudscome and Madelyn for participating in my Renga Experiment this weekend!
Here is the finished product. The traditional renga calls for two verses of seven syllables each at the end of the poem, so I have gone ahead and wrapped it up with the last two verses myself. Compliments to the chefs!
Collaboration
Let's try. What's the harm?
Art is a lonely pursuit;
Perfection, more so.
But friends both new and old bring
their happiness to this road
changing the lonely
journey to one of comfort,
joy, messy thoughts all.
participation. you call,
we come to join joyfully
what can we make here?
how much of ourselves can we
bring to fill the pot?
on a cold and lonely night
hot stew bubbling on the stove
poems bubble, too
add fancy words and carrots
don't forget the salt
Perfect? No, but delicious
and strangely satisfying.
Our words blended together
In an ancient recipe.

Thanks for stopping by, Ruth! BTW, I love the name Ruth. It was Grandmother Acorn's name.
