lush branches start life
swinging on maybes
earth and sky await
syllables swing down from above
seeking new bows to rest upon
***
written in response to
mystical moorings ~
toes of trees dig into earth
arms reach out to sky
the unanchored tilde floats
through lush branches to the sky
***
Ripples ~ This renga is a collaborative writing effort of David of The Skeptic’s Kaddish and me of Mindfills. David’s words, completing the tanka, are in italics and in bold. What started with this haiku is now a renga of 34 verses 🙂 You can read all about our journey here and you can read the rest of the renga here ☺️.
Lots of love and gratitude to you all for reading and your kind words of appreciation. 🙏
