Winter Wonderland
The prompt by
This week I love to challenge you all a bit more to write a short chained poem
with a maximum of eight stanza following the classical rules
(5-7-5; 7-7; 5-7-5; 7-7; 5-7-5; 7-7; 5-7-5; 7-7)
and your last stanza (classically called “ageku”)
has to close the chain by associating on the first stanza.
Of course you don’t need to use the classical syllables count, but that’s up to you.
Not an easy task I think, but therefore I give you all 24 hours instead of 18 hours … So you have to write a chained poem (Renga) of maximum eight (8) stanza inspired on the image and the prompt WINTER WONDERLAND within 24 hours.
What a wonderful winterland don’t you think too? Look at the snow and that gorgeous color of the Camelia must be a source of inspiration for you all.

I was unable to post yesterday
due to putting my laptop in the shop
I had written for the prompt
Carpe Diem #621, first light
.
dawn’s first rays

smoke from wood stoves

From the prompt Solitude:
writing in dunes
loneliness
alone in the house
cold on the tongue
a journey begins
to the door
the length of a shadow
wanting to sleep
