Eternal Renga

I am happy to start "Eternal Renga" I have posted the first three verses to start things off.
Any who wants can post the next two verses. Then another the next three, as so forth until all of Neopoet members have added a verse that truly results in a great Neopoet poem.
Please add you verses here on the workshop and not on the stream. All verses will be submitted to the stream as one poem.

Where world powers clash
the heart of insomniacs
overcome hereby dreams

Barbara

So are we then to continue the thought of the verse just posted I am guessing this would be the case. Do we go in order or just jump in with a verse
Chrys

you are correct on both question.

just jump in add yours and the next person jump in add theirs and so on. whether it be an haiku, senyru, or 2 line verse. whatever is called for.

you are correct Mark

drop the here and i'm good. we keep each other straight.

Where world powers clash
the heart of insomniacs
overcome here by dreams

Peace was never in the plan
Even with the simple clans

Yet they flock
like moths to a flame
they too
will meet the same end

I like these verses Chrys

if you could make it 3 lines of Haiku or Senyru that would be great.

thanks Mark

reposting as you add verses and revise it is good. it keeps us up to speed and make it easier for the next person to find where are in the stream of things.

when both thoughts and battles rage
among hearth and kin ?

thanks

Ron

you are in. i've added you.

What do you say to this idea?

We are approaching 50 lines which is 20 verses, i think, lets publish it on the Stream there, but without a break, the Renga continues eternal?
It might just attract more participants. I am loving this!

Jess

I think it's a great idea. Would you like the honor of publishing this. I have a copy of all verses and names in my notes i'll post final here with names of all who participated at bottom.

Newdy one

thanks nice one

Pressed enter button twice

Duplicate La La, Yours, Sparrow

Thanks Mark

I fail to understand why it takes so long to extend this great write we are seeing.
It took me a couple of minutes to see what the theme was doing and thento write another piece to fit in or to push this on a little.
I was thinking of the tree of life that had been hit in your last stanza but thought we could be there a little more gradually, Yours Ian.T

PS:- The small pieces of this type of poetry are 36 stanzas long but some go on for as long as the one sitting in the chair says so.

hi

everybody is listed in the order of their first verse. Thanks for making this a continual success.

ok I think once we publish this as Neopoet Renga #1 we can continue with Neopoet Renga #2 and continue adding verses with a different theme based on who writes the first stanza. Would you Mark like the honor of writing the first haiku for this one.

lol thanks Mark

a wonderful first haiku

hello, its just me

holding our sweet creamy dreams
Let them not shatter on floor

Hi Rula

thanks nice addition

Summer storms have passed
autumn is on the doorstep
falling leaves arrive

Trust dreams quiescent

holding our sweet creamy dreams

trust dreams quiescent

dreams of cluttered entrances
pumpkin head scarecrows, cobwebs

Meadows glowing gold
Harvest moon drifts slowly by
Sunsets of our dreams

Cool evenings sweet serenade
Children kick the fallen leaves

Thanks Ian

I love kicking hose autumn leaves

Mark

innocence is golden among the autumn leaves. a sweet one, seems to be a typo in the 2nd line.

You didn't copy this by typing it all out did you???
I notice that my Harvest has become a Mavest lol.
All you need to do is Copy and paste..
Do you need any help with these bits???
Take care yours as always, Ian.T

PS:- Sorry I thought that it was you my dear lady that had retyped the whole thing I shall go to the corner..xx

Mark

If you copy and paste to word or Notebook you can add your Stanzas and then copy and paste back with the changes without having to retype all those words.lol
Take care great to see your Stanzas here, Yours Ian.T

PS:- Also I have my Neopoet at 164% enlarged it is easy on the eyes, did you know that on the right side you can plus the size to suit your eyes, almost sounds poetic LOL

Mark

my eyes too are shot, as large print is blurred at this point.
I prefer to CAP the first letter of the first line of the verses only, yes
though its not that important, i think it reads better.

although can i just say barb?

haiku etc don't usually use any capitals except for proper nouns
xxx

okay

i didnt realize that. since this is a lengthy poem of Haikus and Tankas, i figure the first letter of each verse might read better, though its not that big of a deal.

repaste new
