Slippery hold, or: A rengay

A two-person ‘Rengay’

By Suzanne and David

Rengay?

Rengay is a form of linked verse created as an alternative to Japanese renga or renku. The form was devised by Garry Gay in California in 1992. A rengay consists of six thematic haiku verses and is normally composed by two or three poets, although solo and six-person rengay are not uncommon.

This form actually requires a bit of explanation, so I recommend that you read about it HERE.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

from fifty-third to 
fourteenth, walking 
down seventh avenue, 
catching my breath from 
the absence of you

When it goes? or: Where does love go?

A Sijo

d’Verse: Where does the love go?

At d’Verse, we are encouraged to take the title of our poems from the question “Where does love go when it goes?” or “Where does love go?” and answer it in our poems. We can write about personal experience, someone else’s story of lost love, or even philosophize on the question. The form is up to us.

Sijo?

A Korean verse form related to haiku and tanka and comprised of three lines of 14-16 syllables each, for a total of 44-46 syllables. Each line contains a pause near the middle, similar to a caesura, though the break need not be metrical. The first half of the line contains six to nine syllables; the second half should contain no fewer than five. Originally intended as songs, sijo can treat romantic, metaphysical, or spiritual themes. Whatever the subject, the first line introduces an idea or story, the second supplies a “turn,” and the third provides closure. Modern sijo are sometimes printed in six lines.

he calls it love
but nothing adheres

I keep placing my hand there
as if warmth could take

as if the word might remember
what it was meant to hold

but it does not resist me
does not receive me

just an absence
shaped like a promise

and I—hesitant—
begin to learn its edges
