  Okay, I’m out of practice with this. Here goes:

  mere letters on paper
  creating stories

  stories come to live
  as companions in my head
  chiselled from the mist

  Very nice, Raquel. I like it. Oh, and I never said how much I liked your haiku, Gaby. I can picture you curled up on a gray day with a cup of tea reading a good book. Lovely image.

  Thanks. I feel like I’m out of practice too, but I like how our renga’s going so far.

  Friends I’ve never met
  Treasured moments that never happened

  lonely with my dreams
  waiting for my someday friend
  this time maybe real

  a hand to touch mine
  a heart to know mine

  Well, I feel like I killed this renga since I was the last person to add to it. Did I say something wrong? Or is it my breath?

  Ooh, you mean I could blame you that I got stuck for ideas? It’s not my fault anymore!
  I’ve been meaning to work on this, but what with traveling and life not having any ideas for the next verse I just haven’t done it. Maybe we can convince some more people to come help us out. Or at least poke Gabrielle…

  So I know I added the last stanza, but we’re rather stuck so unless anyone has any objections, here’s a new (albeit somewhat silly)haiku.

  laughing as one
  thoughts intertwined
  it wasn’t even that funny

• 11    Raquel // Aug 28, 2007 at 4:59 pm

  Aww. That’s so sweet…

  I know it’s bending the rules to have you do two in a row, but I appreciate it. Hopefully it will get the rest of us unstuck. I’ll probably post something soon if Gabrielle doesn’t beat me to it.

  It’s another one where the haiku worked better in my head, but I think this will do. Please let me know if it just doesn’t make any sense.

  fleeting moments twined to life
  with echoes of laughter

  Okay, here’s my attempt. I feel like I just brought the glee level way down, but it’s what I got.

  Rolling away
  Watching them go
  Wanting these moments back

• 14    Adiel // Oct 31, 2007 at 2:17 pm

  rolling on to eternity
  waiting for us there

• 15    Raquel // Nov 28, 2007 at 1:18 pm

  today just a glimpse
  of the forever light
  shines through the cracks

  Just one verse left!

• 16    Gabrielle // Nov 30, 2007 at 11:03 am

  Shine on my face
  Until forever

  Or

  I want to say something like

  Warm your hands in the light
  Then pick up your sword

  but I can’t quite get it to do what I want it to. It’s too clunky right now. If anyone can make it work I’d be delighted.

• 17    Adiel // Dec 2, 2007 at 6:17 pm

  How about:

  Hands warmed by the light
  turn to grip the sword

• 18    Raquel // Dec 3, 2007 at 10:24 am

  I like it! Shall we take a vote before I make it official?

• 19    Gabrielle // Dec 7, 2007 at 11:12 am

  Well I like it. The votes are all in.

• 20    Raquel // Dec 7, 2007 at 11:24 am

  Alright, it’s official. Thus endeth the renga.

• 21    Adiel // Dec 8, 2007 at 10:38 am

  I love how this renga turned out! It’s really too spiffy for words the way it begins and ends with light, but two very different lights. We done good, ladies. Now, if only we could get more people to join us. Hmmm, whom should I nag?

  [...] soon and see if we can get a little more participation this time. We finished our last renga (here) right around the time I started really scrambling to finish Christmas presents and I never made an [...]
