a junicho renku by Melissa Allen and Aubrie Cox

flickering porch light
I offer candy
to the ghost
a bottle of pumpkin ale
from the cellar
home sick from school
he reads a book
about buried treasure
popsicle stick pirate ship beached
in the laundry basket
the glint of the moon
off her sharpened
skate blades
solo dance down
the dark sidewalk
carvings in the pine
fill with sap
that will harden
my dog and his
romping through the sprouting lettuce
weeds creep
between cracks
in the concrete
we try speaking French
to the tourists at Versailles
an arguing couple
breaks bread
at a riverside cafe
at day’s end
a frog leaps from lily to lily

I knew them before they were famous.
I’ve always been famous, it’s just that no one knew it.
good haikus
smiling lips
warms my soul
adore your poetry! following. 🙂
Wonderful!
Thanks, John, Kellie, and Mary.
This is great. Just wonderful. I want to learn to renku.
It’s fun. You’ve heard of Renku Reckoner, right? Great site to read up on renku if you don’t let it intimidate you too much — John Carley is brilliant. The only way really to learn is to do it, though. As with most things.
