First chill night
the smell of cedar
in the quilts
tic by toc
the leaves begin to fall
This week's renku poem is an extract from A Cup of Snow, written by Hortensia Anderson, John E. Carley, Alan Summers, Carole MacRury, and Michael Dylan Welch.
"A Cup of Snow, written by e-mail in the first months of 2008, is one of the earliest examples of the rokku form in English. The rokku is a mold-breaking type of renku sequence that originated in the early years of this century by the Japanese poet and critic Haku Asanuma."
