Ex. Tanka
I know not the name
Of local wind where I live
Research must be fun
Learning about surrounding
Of others brings together.
Ex. Haiku
The silver moon hid
Quickly behind dark grey skies
Birds south for winter
Ex. Senyru
Early November
Snow is falling in New York
Covers Watertown

Renga Spring 16
Neopoet Renga 16 Spring Again
cold time fades away
hot bright intermittent days
spring in New England (Mark)
The crispness has gone away
Now just sun filled days
Blooms anew wakens my love
Birds singing the dawn does make
Growth around the ground does break (Ian)
It is a wonderful morning
spring is finally here;
days are getting warmer
chill of winter move out;
Soon birds will sing
insects will sting; (Barbara)
Wonderful Mark
Thanks for the little ones
I love hearing them outside my sliding glass door
especially when the moon is shining brightly
as it passes by in the midnight hours.

Now just sun filled days
Blooms anew wakens my love
Birds singing the dawn does make
Growth around the ground does break (Ian)
Wonderful morning
Spring day view brings forth new life
Winter comes to close
Birds singing is my favorite
Stinging insects not so much; (Barbara)
Shine on little bug
Into our dreams chirp away
Warn night serenades (Mark)
Under a brightly moon pass
I drift off until the dawn; (Barbara)
Thanks Mark

dipping toes shallow
skip into remembrances
mystic morning inner realm (Mark)
