A Gift – Renga Party

In honor of HA’s birthday – he had a renga session

her small hands
touching the temple bell
an imprint of innocence                                    anmol(aka HA)

an imprint of innocence
beautifully trimmings gift wrapped
what lies underneath                                        Cressida

behind the sweet face
of a buddha lies the heart
of a scorpion                                                    Cressida

her small hands
touching the temple bell
an imprint of innocence                                    ladyleemanila

With loved ones around
solitude is banished.
She longs for quiet.                                           Vivinfrances

Silence palls
the loved ones are missed –
she longs for company                                     Vivinfrances

she longs for company
pink carnations in a vase
love through mail                                              threenotes

she longs for company

the song of birds that
fill the air with joyfulness                                  Candy
