June,

This is really exquisite phrasing for this Renga collaboration!

One can just sense through your poem that crystallized moment.

Mother Nature certainly knows how to paint a winter scene.

Although a nice storm is treacherous to men maneuver around in it can be beautiful when you see it from inside a warm, comfortable home. The trees look like crystal blowing glass. I have seen a couple of ice storms in my time and it is a beautiful thing to Behold, but it is very dangerous to be out in.

Thank you for contributed to the Renga Book. It's an excellent chapter. The poem has a good composition and link between 5/7/5 and 7/7. Beautiful presentation and imagery. Good syllables and connection between lines. Please add the Renga Rules to your author notes. Thank you :)

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.

Oh yes, not so much here, we don't get terribly cold here, a very mild climate, no snow at all, we do have the occasional frost, but not really cold, a beautifully written written post June, blessings, Roy

This haiku beautifully captures the elegance of winter with concise and vivid imagery. The phrase "crystallizing trees" is especially striking, evoking a sense of artistry and wonder. It effectively conveys a serene moment, but experimenting with more sensory details might deepen the emotional impact.
