Renhai Reflections 112: The Untrue
The Untrue
A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (vs) & John W. Sexton (jws)
Chink, chink chink —
only the false water drip
of hidden blackbirds. /jws
High alpine meadow — /vs
a horse gallops his shadow. /jws
A half hour passes —
the groom leans and whispers
to the best man. /vs

Devika, Borut, John, Bill: Thank you!
Devika is right with every word. And to me, the third verse is very special. Love it.
Best wishes

Lots going on in this ..like the idea of missing elements. Good one.
Thanks for putting me out of my misery, I always hear that bird water sound and wonder who makes it.
Indeed, this realization is a true wonder, thank you for this article anyway.
