Bring in Autumn Renga Workshop 15

When writing haiku and senyru you must keep strict Japanese form for it to be what it is, Japanese poetry;

Haiku is strictly anything that's nature: such as the sun moon and stars. Nature also refers to animals plants and inanimate objects; it can be anything not human.

As for senyru it can be all of the above with a human touch, desire or passion: key words such as I me he she saw see my etc makes a haiku a senyru.

Tanka poetry includes both senyru and haiku; couplets added to a senyru or haiku changes it form to a tanka. Once you added your masterful poems to this workshop you've collaboratively written the fourth type of Japanese poem called renga.

Autumn

The mighty Oak sleeps
Fruit and leaves scattered abroad
Bared winters garnish
I will hug its stark beauty
Wonder if it dreams as I

Just a start to some of the ones I will send,
Yours as always Ian..
