Renhai Reflections 21: As a Flock


As a Flock

A Solo Renhai by Vaughn Seward
Written Sep 19, 2008

Morning sun —
boulevard trees laden
with yellow.

A gust takes up leaves,
carries them as a flock.

Each leaf
finds a place to land —
school yard.

Theme: Falling leaves
Season: Autumn
Link 1 to 2: Coming down (sun-rays / Leaves)
Link 2 to 3: Motion (off the tree / into the yard)
Link 3 to 1: Before / After (in the trees / on the ground)

This Renhai is somewhat narrative in that it depicts a scene I recently observed on the way to work one morning.

The narrative works well - you've painted a scene I feel I could climb into. But equally each part work in itself as per your renhai rules.

A real narrative there...
but then each stands alone well too...
Enjoyed both -- the full narrative and the seperate Renhais as well..
