Rengay Through the Seasons #43 Summary
by Masago: Rengay #43 (Jun 22-28, 2008) Summary
End Game
Long day —
the sun goes to bed
after I do.
We get ice-cream cones —
a lick sends my scoop flying.
Rising tide —
a wave laps over the last
of the castle.
A sudden squall —
an outdoor chess match
enters the end game.
At the end of the dock —
he tries hooking minnows.
Awakened at dawn —
the sound of sirens grab
my attention.
The central theme in this rengay is "Endings".

Rengay Through the Seasons #42 Summary
by Masago: Rengay #42 (Jun 15-21, 2008) Summary
The Rainbow Ahead
A hermit watches
drops splash on the surface —
koi's pond.
Out in an evening drizzle —
we stop for fish and chips.
Potato patch —
the sound of pitter-patter
on each leaf.
Sudden downpour —
colouring books opened
on the lawn.
Thunderstorm — my umbrella
opens up all too well.
A rainbow across
the road in front of us —
the storm behind.
The central theme in this rengay is "Rain". Of course rain inevitably falls from time to time but when the storm eventually dissipates, the sun comes out and is a positive force supporting us in our life's journey. The rainbow is a reminder of God's promises.
