Ode To Man ( A Renga )


from the ABC set poemsbypaulmccann

The Renga

The renga is related to the Haiku structure and follows the same syllable pattern as the tanka, ie 5-7-5-7-7.

Many monks in Tibet often communicated by using this style of poetry,

ie.the first monk would write the opening lines of the haiku and a second poet would composes the response using the pattern of 7,7, syllables

My example

Ode To Man -By Paul McCann

A living being .
A creature formed from the clay .
Made in God's image .
Man can be so beautiful.
The spirit of man that is .
