Rengay #44 (Jun 29 - Jul 5, 2008) Verses 1-5 (of 6):


At the pond — we splash sun all over / each other. /ha
A birdbath out in the rain — each drop bursts into many. /vs
Overflowing tub — the toddler drenched from saving / "drowned water." /ha
Baby's baptism — the minister also gets / a christening. /vs
Wind through the graveyard — an elm scatters shadows. /ha

Hortensia- I have read your work for quite a long time. I love your work, but have never had the chance to tell you since you don't have a spot for comments! :)
I have been thinking of going toward haibun for quite a time - maybe soon will be the time.

I'm coming at this series late - but glad I did. Very visual pieces - lots of light and movement and feeling. I especially like the first two, and the elm one.
