poetry & stuff
The zombie-themed renku has just hit halfway (18 verses to go) and we’ve got room for fresh blood!
So if you’re interested in learning about the amazing renku process of collaborative linked verse, then stumble over and join in! You don’t need to know a lot about renku, and so long as you’re aware of the basics of haiku, you’ll pick this up – it’s all about link and shift!
Here’s the intro/guide to the feature
And here’s the renku as it progresses
Awesome! I love the story that is coming to life. I’m afraid I might mess it up, because I tend to suck at haiku or renku. I do it for practice, but I’m too embarrassed by my suckiness to show mine to anyone. However, I will definitely pass along the link to my friends. I look forward to reading it all.
By the way, the old actress dreaming of pearls with her teeth out is great. I love where it falls in the progression, too.
Thank you, Julie! And I agree, that verse of Graham’s is stellar.
I bet you don’t suck at it! 🙂 If you change your mind, you’re very welcome to jump in, and thank you for passing the link on too! Halfway through now, so lots of time for anyone to try their hand at renku.
Yeah don’t be afraid… we won’t eat your brains!
Definitely, we wouldn’t dream of it!
Haha! If you ate my brains, you’d still be hungry. Not much of a meal there:)
I’m heading out of town for a while. If I get back in time, I’ll see if I can’t drop in and screw it up…I mean…add my wonderful lines…ha! I’m also going to yell at my buddies who told me they’d come over and take a look.
Excellent, Julie – would love to have you there. And you’d be ace! Looking forward to your return, thanks for the support too
