Special Feature Collaborative Poem--By D. Russel Micnhimer--United States and Nalini Priyadarshni, Sri N. Srivatsa, Aruna Singh, Sangeeta Talwar Suneja, Ashwini Kumar Vishnu, Parveen Sethi and Shirin Hasrat--India

Renga

When knowing branches
hang heavy with fruit, lips taste
sweet fruit of hard work (D. Russel Micnhimer)

New flavours bloom with merger
of patience and enterprise (Nalini Priyadarshni)

The early bird sings
in delight at the daylight.
Time to rise and shine (Sri N. Srivatsa)

Gather flavours, colours, sounds
spread them on canvas of dreams (Aruna Singh)

Savour the ripe thought,
freshly plucked mornings are songs
serve, the verve belongs (Sangeeta Talwar Suneja)

Songs of love floating around
I hear the bathing beauty (Ashwini Kumar Vishnu)

Sound sweet and crisp
wafts through air
it ought to be lover's lips (Parveen Sethi)

Exciting new sensations
as the world around dissolves (Nalini Priyadarshni)

Non-stop wanderer
my quest for new love continues
fresh constellations (Ashwini Kumar Vishnu)

Falling stars from galaxies
fistfuls of stardust blind me (Shirin Hasrat)

    Thank you, Isha Wagner, for the following--

    This poem, to me, is enigmatic but then perhaps that's how poetry should be, trying to understand the poet's voice and meaning. The use of language is beautiful in this piece and I think the poets should be congratulated on the pictures their words bring to mind.

    Yours sincerely,
    Isha Wagner
