What a neat poem. It is a clever idea. Your words match the picture well. Secrets beneath the ice is an unique idea. I liked reading your poem., R.J.

I am happy you contributed to the Renga Book. It's an excellent chapter. Unfortunately, we both wrote the same chapter number so now we have two 7/7 stanzas. But that is okay, it's about to happen sometimes.

You followed this chapter:

aurora borealis
Is frozen in time

what secrets beneath the ( ice )
in millennia shall rise ( ... ) please delete the three dots

The poem has a good composition. Beautiful presentation and imagery. Good syllables and connection between lines. Please add rules to your author notes :)

HOW TO WRITE A RENGA POEM:

It's very important to LINK your Renga stanza to the previous stanza keeping the same theme and season of the year.

First copy and paste this link to your browser to check the Renga Book. Your chapter will follow the last chapter: fanstory.com/chapterdetails.jsp?id=42337


FIRST POET - starts with a three-line haiku 5/7/5 that sets the theme and season of the year.

THE SECOND POET writes a 7/7 stanza that links to the previous 5/7/5 chapter with the same theme and season of the year.

This pattern (5/7/5 stanza followed by a 7/7 stanza) continues on and on. Some renga books can be 100 stanzas or more.

To post your chapter, scroll down the renga poem page you are reading. Above the review box click on ADD CHAPTER.
