You put so much work into your writing and it really shows. I love your bits of alliteration, like "slowly the sun sinks, silent". I also love the picture you choose for the poem. Fits it perfectly and the picture is very cool! Great job!

Dear Gypsy, Hitcher, and Dean,

A great collaboration between the three of you. For the love of the Samuri maybe sweet but bitter as he's given his life to the cause. Very sad.

Warm regards,

Winslow

This is lovely, MariVal. I like the allusions to trees you use throughout the poem.
There's something that surprises me: her wedding kimono is white. In China white is the color of mourning. Is it not the same in Japan?
Thanks for sharing.

    No, in Japan white is not the color for mourning, black is. I looked at pictures of wedding kimonos and some were white.

    Thank you for reading and reviewing our renga, you are very kind and we appreciate it.

Your poem is an excellent lesson in poetry and writing. I learned so much from your comments, but back to the poem. It was true artistry, thank you for writing. it.

This is excellent. I'm familiar enough with your writing style to tell which stanzas are yours. I can also spot Deans, so the remainder must be Hitcher's. I didn't notice until later that you identify each author.

Impressive collaborative work! It tells a cohesive story. Great imagery and alliteration. I needed the author's notes for the "naginata" and "Jubei" who I thought was one famous samurai in particular.

Gypsy Blue Rose, Hitcher, Dean Kuch,

Thoughts are expressed and described well. The theme is strong. The descriptive words created wonderful impressions. Your feelings are expressed well. Your arrangement looks very nice. The flow is smooth.

There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

I am greatly impressed by what you, Dean Kuch and Hitcher have created with this venture. Each haiku unique and yet follow the theme and story line.

Very nicely done - all of you.
