by Masago: Rengay #46 (Jul 13-19, 2008) Summary
Budgie in the Mirror
After the storm...
the ground receives a kiss
from the rose.
Our lovers' quarrel ends —
the make-up smooch begins.
She presses
a tissue between her lips —
lipstick remains.
Perched on a stick —
he pecks at the budgie
in the mirror.
The soccer ball rises —
his first forward heading.
The politician
stops to bless a baby —
soft, pink forehead.
The central theme in this rengay is, of course, "Kissing". The first verse was inspired one day when we were at a garden centre after it had rained hard the previous night and I saw a potted rose that had succumbed to the storm. The image is a personification of kissing followed by the more usual sort of kiss in verse 2. The other verses in the series are meant to provide a variety of other types of "kissing".

you did use quite a lot of kinds of "kiss" didn't you?! wonderful work!
A lot of kissing going on... A field day for a kissing expert!?:)
I liked the way the theme progressed from a beautiful kiss of nature to the incongruous kiss of the human at the end - puts things into perspective doesn't it. Well done!
i concur with janice. wonderful work!

Borut: I can't claim to be an expert in this area. :-)
