LYNX
PARTICIPATION RENGA

HOW TO DO IT

To join in participation renga, read the whole poem, especially the last line or lines in italic. Read the "rules" as stated under the title. Pick the link in BOLD italic you find best, worthy, interesting and write your responding link. Check the hokku poet's rules once more to make sure yours fits.

Send the title of the renga, the link and author to which your link with your initials responds. Subscribers may send in up to 10 links total. You cannot respond to your own links.

To start a participation renga, submit a hokku; (the first link (stanza) of a renga). The hokku usually contains the title of the renga. Your submission should indicate a title; the theme or premise (if any); the format (3-line links, 2-line links, etc.); and the total number of links that will complete the renga (not over 12, please). When you start a renga, think of it as YOUR renga and keep working with the new links as they arrive. Too often a renga is started but not "cared for" later.

Lynx does not edit hokku or links in this section. However, links that clearly neglect the hokku poet's guidelines will not be published.

Once a renga is established, Lynx publishes all branches of that renga, as long as poets keep feeding them links.  Lynx drops any hokku or branch that no one feeds. The previous links are printed in one line just to save space.

Send your links to us by email with the words "participation renga" as subject line.
You may also send your links by regular post to: LYNX, POB 1250, Gualala, CA 95445, USA.

The whimper of illuminated lovers          Terri Lee Grell

Running through the breeze           Celeste Fannin

Clinging to our silence           Larry Giddings

we worship the goddess         Ken C. Leibman

warm cushion in the blue moonlight            Bob Jessup

the smell of coffee boiling over         TW

morning news unheard in the den       Tom Bingham

scribbling feelings in my notebook         KCL

the tourists and their cameras           TW

waiting for Mount St. Helens to burp          TLG

An empty cookie jar          PW

her lover’s photo          JR

remembered sunlight           TW

the sound of teardrops           PW

hanging on her ear               JR

whispering secrets           KCL

children read a picture book               Penny Crosby

Artists struck dumb by willows             Rose B. Ackerman

where the wind blows dreams          JR

toad hops down the hall          KCL

the street lights go out           CF

dancing in the puddles all night           JR

and then the walk home            Jean A. Jorgensen

lying in bed till noon, thinking ...          Mary Wittry-Mason

mountains just hanging there              Eric Folsom

wind blows up the valley            JR

and Marilyn's skirt          KCL

spinning circles another dream            Elizabeth St Jacques

walking through the door         TW

a Navajo rug on her wall           JAJ

on the beautiful path I walk          KCL

on the beautiful sky I walk.             TW

lying in bed till noon, thinking ...          Mary Wittry-Mason

stop that insane laughter          JAJ

another day in the rubber room           JR

this retarded ejaculation            George Ralph

liquid dice at last            John M. Bennett

shooting craps           Steve McComas

the outhouse suddenly shakes           GR

privy council to the queen              Yvonne Hardenbrook

gays and bees on the go           GR

what in the mountain burns             John M. Bennett

her smoldering look           MWM

bonfire fizzles out again            George Ralph

so much for the "golden years"          Elizabeth St Jacques

the eternal present one more time           David Rice

have i had this dé jèvu before?           KCL

waking from the dream into a dream             GR

rainbows so much brighter than before.              Nasira
